About to Die manages not only to seem vital in comparison to the other Dirty Projectors’ art projects of this year, but also stirs hunger for the 25 other songs from these sessions that will hopefully see an eventual release.

Listening to About to Die, the amount of effort Dirty Projectors put into Magellan only becomes more obvious.

For diehard fans of the band this will be a particularly welcome addition, providing a canvas for five experiments on the tried and tested Dirty Projectors modus operandi.

About to Die offers a bite-sized take of the entirety of Swing Lo Magellan, encapsulating its strengths in four songs.
