THIS ALBUM IS ABOUT THIS EVIL NEW JACK VIBE

3 Jul 2012


“Gun Has No Trigger” from Dirty Projectors’ latest record, Swing Lo Magellan

Melena Ryzik talks to David Longstreth, lead singer of the Dirty Projectors, about their new record Swing Lo Magellan, which comes out July 10 (they’re also streaming the record) (just on the very first listen of the very first song, “Offspring Are Blank,” I hear a little David Bowie vibe? Just in that guitar riff in the chorus? Jang jang “He was made to love her” jang jang Bowie guitar?). At any rate. Excited. Dirty Projectors and Wye Oak play Marfa on July 31 — tickets available online and in the gallery. –NI
