Dirty Projectors<\/a>‘\u00a0<\/strong>new song Keep Your Name<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0tellingly opens with (wedding) church bells that go to glitch. So life has apparently gone for leader Dave Longstreth<\/strong> and a lost love of his. In the opening lines of the song, Longstreth<\/strong> lays open his ventricles with, “I don’t know why you abandoned me, you were my soul and my partner, what we imagined and what we became, we’ll keep ’em separate and you keep your name.” The song manages to be complex, inventive and multi-dimensional all at once, and bodes incredibly well for the impending new album from the band, their first in four years following their breakthrough Swing Lo Magellan<\/strong><\/em>. Check it out below via the song’s superb, official video in black-and-white\u00a0directed by Longstreth<\/strong> and Kanye West\u2019s<\/strong> associate, Elon Rutberg<\/strong>. We love Longstreth’s<\/strong> affected and heartfelt vocals, the sample from the band’s own 2012 song Impregnable Question<\/strong><\/em>, the rapped interval (couldn’t agree more with the Gene Simmons<\/strong> assessment), and the inventive electronic mix. With Keep Your Name<\/strong><\/em>,\u00a0Dirty Projectors<\/strong> are giving Bon Iver<\/strong> a strong run for best production of 2016. Lyrics at bottom.<\/p>\n
