My mental jury is still out on what’s the best song of the year, but I’ve got to admit that the Dirty Projectors have a great shot with “Stillness is the Move.” It’s got all the fixtures of a song that will stay with you for a long time — namely, it’s catchy but still pretty weird.

MP3: Dirty Projectors – Stillness Is The Move

And now this SOTY*-contender has a fitting video to go with it. In fact, I’m kind of taken aback at the quality of this video. Stereogum says Matthew Lessner directed it, so I say hats off to Matthew Lessner. The video looks great, showcases the beautiful girls of the Dirty Projectors almost as much as it does the quality of the song… and makes Dave look strange and mysterious as a rotating llama herder.
