Dirty Projectors’ new album, Swing Lo Magellan, is getting justly-deserved universal praise.  This ain’t your average white band.  As we’ve written before, this band has always operated outside of the safety zone.  But with each album they have moved a bit more towards accessibility.  We have argued against such a move for other bands, but with Dirty Projectors this is a positive turn.  This past Monday night Dirty Projectors put on a house concert of sorts when they performed at the Music Hall of Williamsburg.  This show was streamed live on The Bowery Presents Live, which now shares with us two performances, the first of which is Amber Coffman’s sweetly updated R&B-sounding song, The Socialites, and the second is another version of Gun Has No Trigger.
