Being a Dirty Projectors fan provides not only a listening experience, but also an entire aesthetic experience. Dave Longstreth’s mind never rests. A couple months after the release of their phenomenal new album Swing Lo Magellan, Dirty Projectors bring us a video for the standout track, “About to Die.” The colors are brilliant, the shots cinematic. As Longstreth enacts the part of the song’s title, he is visited bedside by an onslaught of folks–friends, monks, priests, nuns, and an entire orchestra, all transported via a large, diesel moving truck. Watch above.
Additionally, the video also comes with the announcement that the band will be issuing a new “About to Die” EP, the tracklisting for which can be found below.
About To Die EP Tracklist:
1. About To Die
2. While You’re Here
3. Here Til It Says I’m Not
