Dirty Projectors Unveil New Album Details

We recently told you about the new Dirty Projectors track ‘The Gun Has No Trigger’, available to listen to below, but now we have confirmation of a follow-up to the band’s 2009 ‘Bitte Orca’.

Dirty Projectors will release ‘Swing Lo Magellan’, their sixth studio album, on July 9th in the UK and Europe and July 10th in North America via Domino.

“It’s an album of songs, an album of songwriting,” says David Longstreth of the release which was created from the fruits of constant writing and recording in a ‘weird house’ in Delaware County, New York. Longstreth put together over 70 tracks, producing and mixing each before selecting the album’s final 12 from a batch of 40 fully formed demos.

Tracklisting:
1. Offspring Are Blank
2. About to Die
3. Gun Has No Trigger
4. Swing Lo Magellan
5. Just From Chevron
6. Dance For You
7. Maybe That Was It
8. Impregnable Question
9. See What She Seeing
10. The Socialites
11. Unto Caesar
12. Irresponsible Tune

‘Swing Lo Magellan’ will be made available on CD, vinyl and digital download.

Dirty Projectors will also appear on Domino Records’ special forthcoming Record Store Day release, which can read more about here.

You can catch the band at this year’s Pitchfork Music Festival, which takes place in Chicago’s Union Park between 13th - 15th July, as well as at Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Bandshell on July 10th.
