Album Overview
Dirty Projectors balance intricate experimentation with more direct songwriting on Swing Lo Magellan, the band’s sixth studio album. Released in 2012, the record finds Dave Longstreth shaping the group’s unconventional harmonies, angular guitar work, and rhythmic shifts into a collection that feels intimate and expansive at the same time.
The 12-track album opens with “Offspring Are Blank” before moving through highlights including “About to Die,” “Gun Has No Trigger,” the title track, and “Dance for You.” Side two continues with “Maybe That Was It,” “Impregnable Question,” “The Socialites,” and “Irresponsible Tune,” blending experimental pop ideas with folk, indie rock, and carefully layered vocal arrangements.
Written, recorded, produced, and mixed primarily by Dave Longstreth, Swing Lo Magellan was developed during recording sessions in Delaware County, New York. The project places a greater emphasis on individual songs and personal songwriting while retaining the unpredictable arrangements and vocal interplay associated with Dirty Projectors.
This 2012 U.S. Domino edition presents the complete 12-track studio album on a single black vinyl LP.
Why You’ll Love It
If you enjoy Dirty Projectors at the intersection of experimental pop and indie rock, Swing Lo Magellan offers one of the band’s most accessible yet distinctive albums. Songs like “Gun Has No Trigger” and “Impregnable Question” pair memorable melodies with unconventional arrangements, while the quieter moments give the record an intimate character that contrasts with its more rhythmically adventurous tracks.
