DIRTY PROJECTORS - ABOUT TO DIE (LP)

"About To Die" is the R&B influenced second single from the Dirty Projectors critically acclaimed new album Swing Lo Magellan. This 12” vinyl offering features three new B-sides recorded during the album sessions including the beautiful and heartfelt "While You’re Here." The sound of Swing Lo Magellan is totally unique with an aesthetic that explodes in two directions at once. The grain of the voices and live-in-the-room quality of the amps contrast the rich orchestral layering of Longstreth’s arrangements. Swing Lo Magellan has both the handmade intimacy of a love letter and the widescreen grandeur of a blockbuster, and if that sounds like a paradox, it’s because it was until now!

“The band’s least ornate batch of songs to date builds upon Longstreth’s most direct and identifiable lyrics ever. Which means that Dirty Projectors have upped their emotional and structural accessibility all at once.” - Pitchfork - 8.8: Best New Music

“By the dazzlingly innovative and heartfelt record’s end, the band has worked in a bit of everything it has to offer, and offered it with winning sincerity.” - AV Club

“The Dirty Projectors’ best album by a mile holds that balance, all magnificent wobble, no collapse.” Spin

“The source of Swing Lo Magellan’s charm, for it truly is a charming collection, is that it’s a record that doesn’t try be anything other than exactly what it is.” - Paste
