Domino Records announced today that Dirty Projectors will be dropping their highly anticipated 6th album, Swing Lo Magellan, on July 10th in North America/July 9th Worldwide.  The album is a product of 12 months of writing & recording in Delaware County New York by David Longstreth. The rest of Dirty Projectors: Amber Coffman, Haley Dekle, Nat Baldwin, and Brian McOmber constantly joined him to rehearse and flush-out the songs in the A-Frame attic in the weird home about 4 hours Northwest of NYC.

The end result is said to be both very intimate and layered.

Have you ever been hit by a car? I have but that’s not as interesting as Danny Brown freestyling above about drugs after discussing an automobile accident with Noisey. The adderall admiral also discusses how the gap in his teeth makes it so he can provide enjoyable oral sex with women but not properly eat a Hot Dog. I guess he is fortunate that he is not Cazwell.
