The National + Dirty Projectors / Stage AE 06.11.2013 / Doors 7:00 / $29 Words by Brendan The National just released another stellar album- Trouble Will Find Me -two weeks ago, and they're off on a tour to promote the album. This includes a stop in Pittsburgh on June 11, on their way to Bonnaroo and then Europe. They haven't been here since a 2010 show at the Carnegie Library in Homestead, so don't miss your chance here!

So Major Lazer this week release Free the Universe for widespread consumption, and today thus becomes a monumental day; a special event, and one which would surely be honoured with a polychromic carnival of Notting Hill depravity were it only that bit more engrossing, even from the off. For it has been postponed, put off and pushed from pillar to post (read: label to label) since it was first slated for liberation earlier on in the year. Of course it somewhat inevitably marks a change in the trajectory first traced by Diplo in the [...]
You know when you hit saturation point with that one song? You've heard it so many fucking times over – you know its every lyric and every intricate inflexion thereof; you can reproduce its slick lick round the back of your brain; know, and so too fear the exact second it'll end. That is, or rather was where I was at with Get Free – I foolishly believed I could immaculately reproduce Amber Coffman's elastane vocal; redo her squiggly guitar part, and as such I needed something; anything to rejuvenate the adoration. And one might set about questioning how it [...]
While never quite my favourite from Dirty Projectors' Swing Lo Magellan – which conversely just so happened to feature right up there among our favourite LPs of 2012 – The Socialites proved an intriguing hypothesis on reticence from David Longstreth et al., not least as they at least superficially seem a rather asocial ensemble themselves. Here, Hot Chip kingpin Joe Goddard gives it a reinvigorating spin, and perhaps inevitably readies it for those more explicitly sociable sorts of scenario – grubby dance floors, grimy house parties and the like. Though as [...]
Any day that goes by without even so much as a transient burst of David Longstreth's Dirty Projectors is one which somehow leaves me feeling strangely unfulfilled. And truth be known, I've thus far this year rather neglected Swing Lo Magellan so it's something of a saving grace that they released this one over the weekend. There's A Fire originally featured as the flipside to a limited white label release of Offspring Are Blank pressed especially to coincide with a show at New York's Carnegie Hall last month, and it's one to really rekindle [...]
While January has effectively lived up to its London billing as a month as drab musically as it is meteorologically, they're having a topsy-turvy time of it down under if recent triple j Like A Version sessions are anything to go by. First there was dear ol' Sharon doing Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds' People Ain't No Good , and now there's this: David Longstreth's Dirty Projectors reinterpreting Usher's heady, chart-glooping Climax. Still swinging high off 'Magellan by the sounds of it, he's joined on the track by the band's [...]
Jarri reckons this latest electropop-hemmed hunk from great Danish songstress Mø sounds rather redolent of Purity Ring though if so, it's indubitably more of a Fineshrine than it is Ungirthed; one to enwrap in your dismembered "little ribs" for prized safekeeping. With a thin patina of snow currently lacing the streets, Glass plays off that same belatedly festive feel as did fellow Scandi heartthrob Frida Sundemo's latest, Snow , though that's where the similarities end as Karen Ørsted melts the glistering cascades of scale to its beginning into a more pulsating, and indeed scintillating electroclash-Zero backdrop [...]
Oresti Tsonopoulos The lights darken, a door off to the left cracks open, out steps David Longstreth solo. He calmly walks to the front of the stage of Carnegie Hall and begins a rendition of "Swing Lo Magellan" alone with his guitar. As the nucleus for the living organism of a band called the Dirty Projectors , Longstreth starting the show alone onstage with the title track of their latest record was the perfect, understated move. Playing with melody and phrasing like a cat pawing yarn, his yearning voice seemed to both [...]
De Swing Lo Magellan- sexto álbum de los Dirty Projectors lanzado en julio de este año- ya vimos los clips para “ Offspring are Blank ” y “ Swing Lo Magellan ”. Ahora la banda nos presenta el video para “ The Socialites ”, el cual es parte de una serie de entregas de su nuevo corto Hi Custodian -que pueden ver hasta abajo- escrito y dirigido por David Longstreth.
Después del revuelo causado por la visita de los Dirty Projectors a nuestro país, la banda acaba de estrenar un nuevo video para el sencillo “Swing Lo Magellan” , extraído de su disco más reciente del mismo nombre. Este video forma parte del cortometraje Hi Custodian , escrito y dirigido por David Longstreth -vocalista de la banda-, donde a través de una narrativa surrealista los integrantes experimentan un proceso de muerte espiritual y renacimiento. En “Swing Lo Magellan” vemos al [...]
Le groupe de Brooklyn, Dirty Projectors vient de libérer leur dernier clip pour le titre Offspring Are Blank , extrait de leur dernier album Swing Lo Magellan . Une vidéo réalisée par David Longstreth , dans un style dénonciateur écolo avec le flux des déchets par camion dans une plaine détruite jusqu'à une belle vallée verte.
This morning, Dirty Projectors debuted their latest video for 'Offspring are Blank'. Directed by Dirty Projectors frontman David Longstreth, the video is part of the 'Hi Custodian' short film series and will feature additional videos for 'The Socialites' and 'Swing Lo Magellan' to be released on Thursday and Friday respectively, as well as the previously released 'About [...]
Were Baltimore's dreamiest of its innumerable dream popsters Beach House a colour, theirs would indubitably be a wash of alluring blue. To paraphrase Bloom : track 6, or Troublemaker, they surged out of the blue and into the redder hearts of many; no, most with previous LP Teen Dream and musically, in Bloom , they've maintained that oneiric sound that remains clearer than an azure sky . Clear, lucid, and above all irrefutably crystalline. Simplicity at play, almost. Maybe a baby blue. Live though, they can truly rasp if and when they [...]
A wonderfully moving ballad from Dirty Projectors, which floats upon a bed of fantastic string sections. I've received quite a few comments saying I was a little unforgiving when it comes to the band's last album ; however, I don't see myself coming around on the LP anytime soon. Such is life. What's I'm happy about is this particular track streaming via the YouTube embed above is appealing to me much more. It showcases a certain sonic clarity and strange beauty that stuns me in a way words cannot explain. While the track does suffer from the [...]
E o Dirty Projectors não para! Esse ano já lançaram o álbum Swing Lo Magellan considerado um dos melhores de 2012, o documentário Hi Custodian um excelente registro visual de tudo que a banda promove dentro do último disco. Não satisfeitos, anunciaram About to Die, faixa-título de um EP que a banda lançará no dia 6 de Novembro, o trabalho contará com três músicas inéditas, While You’re Here , Here Til It Says I’m Not e Simple Request. [...]
It is with bated breath tonight swiftly and efficiently transformed in protracted gasp that we await Dirty Projectors . They've taken their sweet, sweet time in reaching our fair isles, and with their simplest and with that most successful record in tow ( Swing Lo Magellan peaked at an astoundingly respectful #22 in the US Billboard 200), they were never to take the Roundhouse stage with anything other than aplomb. They that frequented any American date of this particular tour were afforded the opportunity to be rewarded with a limited 7" were they amongst the first few to [...]

Os ingressos já estão à venda no site oficial , o valor do primeiro lote é de R$100 a inteira / R$50 a meia.
Most devoted fans will tell you to read the book first. However, with Dirty Projectors captain David Longstreth’s short film Hi Custodian , I’d advise you to first surrender yourself to this surreal, yet precise eccentricity that is his visual narrative before you listen to the album for which it was created, Swing Lo Magellan . I am not, as a hard-core-book-devotee-level admirer of DP’s sixth album myself, arguing that the film is better than the record. Like the rest of its audience, I praised Magellan’ s ability to remain [...]
