About To Die

The About To Die EP features Swing Lo Magellan standout single 'About To Die' along with three brand new songs including 'While You're Here', 'Here Til It Says I'm Not' and 'Simple Request'.

Anything but morbid, this short and sweet EP keeps the wheels in motion for Dirty Projectors.
