'Gun Has No Trigger' is the first single from the album and you can check out the video for the song below. The video itself is nothing special, very cut and dry, but if you take the time to listen to the music and give the album a chance it is pretty spectacular. Swing Lo Magellan is the 7th album from the band and they show no signs of letting up.

Dirty Projectors ' "Gun Has No Trigger" sounds like a song that would be very hard to pull off in a live setting. With the precision of the backing vocals and the strained nature of the lead vocals, being even a little off could sink this whole ship. DP pulled it off perfectly, though. Check it out below.
