For nearly five years, we have been waiting with bated breath for a new album from Dirty Projectors. They are officially back, with their seventh album due next month. The outfit of Dave Longstreth had already teased the follow-up to 2012’s Swing Lo Magellan with ‘Keep Your Name’ and ‘Little Bubble’. Now that an eponymous album has been confirmed, Dirty Projectors are enticing us further with another exquisitely wonderful cut from it called ‘Up In Hudson’. The song “is an elegy — to the Obama years, to a generation of indie rock, and to a relationship”, describes the press release. “Over the course of nine verses and almost eight minutes, the lyrics situate David Longstreth & his band in the vivid textures of the recent past like a millennial Blood On The Tracks.”

Dirty Projectors arrives on February 24th via Domino. Till then, we’ll be listening to ‘Up In Hudson’ over and over again. And you might too.

The follow-up to Dirty Projectors‘ Swing Lo Magellan, one of our favourite albums of 2012, may well be around the corner. Following the beautiful and strange ‘Keep Your Name’, frontman Dave Longstreth has unveiled a new cut, the poignantly beautiful ‘Little Bubble’. Dirty Projectors haven’t officially confirmed a new album but we’re hoping these two tracks are tied to an impending release. ‘Little Bubble’ comes an equally impressive video, co-directed by Longstreth and Adam Newport-Berra.

It’s been four full years since Dirty Projectors released their outstanding and critically acclaimed studio album Swing Lo Magellan, which was one of our Albums Picks of 2012, and the accompanying About To Die EP. Fortunately, the wait is finally over. Earlier this week, the Brooklyn outfit led by producer, multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Dave Longstreth teased their first new material since then in a short clip shared on their social media. Now Dirty Projectors have released a brand new song, the beautiful and strange ‘Keep Your Name’. It comes with a fittingly stunning video co-directed by Longstreth and Elon Rutberg. Watch it. Now.

Watch Dirty Projectors‘s new video for the gorgeous track ‘Impregnable Question’, taken from their critically acclaimed album Swing Lo Magellan, which was one of our Albums Picks of 2012. The video was directed by Adam Newport-Berra, and features beautiful landscapes and views shot in Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks.
