Listen: Dirty Projectors Stream New Album In Full

The Dirty Projectors are streaming the whole of their brand new album ‘Swing Lo Magellan’.

To hear the full album in its entirety, simply head over to NYTimes.com, where it is streaming in full.

In this month’s issue of DIY Magazine, we spoke to frontman David Longstreth, who told us the following about how the band approached their new album, in comparison to their last effort ‘Bitte Orca’.

“I like changing my approach, I like to surprise myself and change it up every time,” says David on the band’s departure from the “explicit references to other musical styles” that took centre stage on their last record. “The minute you start repeating yourself is the minute you stop being surprised.”

“It was important to move on. It all happened a while ago, the world has moved on - it’s a different time period. This album is much more of itself, it’s much more about human experience as opposed to deconstructions of different styles and tropes.”

The band have also announced details of a huge UK and European tour, and will make the following stops throughout October and November.
