Still no plans to switch over full-time to a Dirty Projectors fanpage, but I was happy to see that their final EP of 2020, Ring Road, came out today, along with a video for “My Possession.”
I’m not savvy enough to recognize whether the beginning is a Google promotion, or just a gag about how some of us have been listening to “Overlord” non-stop since we first heard it. Either way, it’s a nice acknowledgement of late November 2020, setting aside a lovely song about fascism in favor of gentle harmonies about letting go of self-destructive obsession, complete with references to The Exorcist.
P.S. My favorite song from the last EP is still “Searching Spirit.”
I like Lose Your Love. Thanks to Today’s Top Tune from KCRW of course. ๐

The video is fun too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtAcgEtY_CM
It’s also one of the songs that they did on their NPR Tiny Desk concert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSgJ_6sOBB8
