Swing Lo Magellan with Dirty Projectors

which consists of Brooklyn-based Dave Longstreth & co

sixth album (2012) by Dirty Projectors

Could be one of the most creative this year?! Including many oldish styles in a 21st century indie way. Heard album Bitte Orca before this, thought that was one of the most interesting 2009, but in a less emotionally fulfilling way. Swing Lo Magellan I find twice as well-composed and much more accessible (though a half star less on allmusic).


most Amusing song: JUST FROM CHEVRON

most Beautiful song: THE SOCIALITES

most Sexy song: GUN HAS NO TRIGGER

most Smart song: SEE WHAT SHE SEEING

most Strange song: MAYBE THAT WAS IT

most growing Strong song: OFFSPRING ARE BLANK



Overall Album


6 compositions

6 instrumentations

5 playin' feeling /singin' feeling

4 philosophy

4 timeline (order of tracks)

6 concept (titles, cover picture)

5 historical importance

= 36


I now give 1-7 for each cathegory
where 3 is good and total possible 7 X 7 = 49 never exist(?)
