Dirty Projectors – Swing Lo Magellan

July 12, 2012 By Leave a Comment

The thing about strange music is that, when you’re exposed to it again, it’s not quite as jarring as it was in the first instance. Thus, while Dave Longstreth might have perfected a sui generis mode of pop music with his chamber orchestra of pop singers, drum machines, crunching guitars and actual chamber orchestra on Bitte Orca, it’s not a given that it will work again. The arsenal of tricks is impressive, no doubt, but Swing Lo Magellan needed to provide more than just more of the same in order to maintain Dirty Projectors’ deservedly lofty reputation.

Shrines, Ring’s 4AD debut, tied to boxy hip-hop structures and drama-queen synths as much as their early stand-out singles Belispeak and Obedear were, doesn’t quite fulfill their Kilmainham promise.
