Soup of Sounds Characterizes "Swing Lo Magellan"

Give the nod to Brooklyn's Dirty Projectors. They have many ingredients in play as part of their musical recipe book. "Swing Lo Magellan" gives listeners numerous tastes that aren't short on tantalizing mouth feel. "Offspring" leans towards ghoulish foreboding arrangements that will have you wondering what oddball hallway you've stumbled your way into. "Swing Lo" swipes a page out of the early '70s folk tune handbook. This flower is delicate and a delight to watch unfold. If a song that thinks it's too cool for your plebe ears is up your alley then "The Socialites" is worth getting to know even if the lyrics suggest these particular socialites can't give you the bum's rush fast enough. Try to keep your tongues in your head once you've gotten your eyes and ears wrapped around the pretty lady with hair voluminous and chic. David Longstreth has proves himself a worthy MC for arthouse audio films such as this. Amber Coffman and Olga Bell contribute magical harmonies to the chorus. You'll eat hearty from a genre standpoint if you pour yourself a bowl of what Dirty Projectors have to offer.
