本张专辑《Swing Lo Magellan》的词曲创作与监制工作，此次还是由Dave Longstreth一手包办。他利用了整整一年的时间，从事密集大量的音乐创作，最后总计完成约40多首Demos。本次参与录音工作的团员，包含大家熟知的女性成员Amber Coffman、鼓手Brian McOmber、贝斯手Nat Baldwin、合音Haley Dekle与其它进行管絃乐伴奏的客席乐手。这次专辑并不强调整体的专辑概念，而是着重单一歌曲的独特性，借此突显Dave这次私密内省的音乐世界。
〈Offspring are Blank〉以男声低吟为专辑开场，优美合音则像浪潮般卷入，后段又有狂躁乐器切入，短短4分钟形塑出丰富多变的音乐样貌；首支单曲作品〈Gun Has No Trigger〉，在四月已获Pitchfork选为“最佳新曲”，带来充满想像空间的电影感；专辑同名歌曲〈Swing Lo Magellan〉以简单的原音乐器伴奏，加上Dave真诚的嗓音，绝对是Dirty Projectors最不同以往，但却最让人印象深刻的作品；〈About to Die〉则以Dave与Amber招牌的R&B唱腔贯穿全曲，而迷人的絃乐更是让人瞬间融化。从头听到尾，你不得不套用The Fly对这张专辑的评语：“这张作品真是他X的棒呆了！”
On Dirty Projectors sixth album, Swing Lo Magellan, songwriter and leader David Longstreth shows he really doesn't know how to do the same thing twice. Where prior Dirty Projectors albums investigated 20th-century orchestration, west African guitar music and complex contrapuntal techniques in human voices, Swing Lo Magellan is a leap forward again. It's an album of songs, an album of songwriting. Swing Lo Magellan has both the handmade intimacy of a love letter and the widescreen grandeur of a blockbuster, and if that sounds like a paradox -- it's because it was until now.
