Gold, frankincense and myrrh? No, it’s the cover of the No Intention / As I Went Out One Morning 7″ single, due for release on 6 December. To see higher res artwork from both this and a promo cd featuring No Intention and CD2 of Bitte Orca Expanded, go to the website of artist Christian Oldham. Incidentally, back in September, Dave mentioned that the band had just filmed a video for No Intention. Anyone seen it?
Other recent goings on…
Dirty Projectors opened for Phoenix at Madison Square Garden on 20 October. Daft Punk made an appearance during the encore. Photos and write-up are at Brooklyn Vegan.
You might have come across interviews with Dirty Projectors being asked about working with Björk . Here’s one with Björk talking about how it was for her. Sample quote - “I have the feeling that they’ve only just begun making great records; that they have many to come.”
Ryuichi Sakamoto is a fan, too - “I really like their brave innovations to break down the boundaries.”
The tour is winding down, with just two UK dates remaining. Nat has played a tour of his own and Angel has guested on the debut LP by Eric & Magill, which is available for free download here.
Last month I posted links to a couple of radio sessions. Here’s one I missed, from Canada’s CBC - there’s a streaming version of the show (29 September) on this page (about 50 minutes into the programme), which features a short interview with Dave and Amber and an acoustic No Intention. And there’s a separate recording of Temecula Sunrise here that’s not included in the programme.
So, December next week. Where does the time go, eh? Sheesh… What’s that you say? A Dirty Projectors Christmas song? Now that would be something.
