Swing Lo Magellan

Dirty Projectors

A collection of intimate, rhythmically inventive art pop songs. Stripped of high-concept layers, it favors dry acoustics and stunningly precise vocal harmonies.

It's like if a math genius decided to write the most beautiful, stripped-back folk-pop songs you've ever heard.

A bright, intellectually curious collection of songs that feels both meticulously crafted and effortlessly intimate.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The sudden explosion of distorted guitar and drums that shatters the delicate acoustic opening of Offspring Are Blank.

The eerie, skeletal vocal arrangement of Gun Has No Trigger where the bassline provides the only melodic floor.

The charming studio chatter and loose, collaborative energy that punctuates the rhythmic interplay of Unto Caesar.
