A few hours before the Dirty Projectors played their new song on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, ?uestlove posted a video of them playing their new song in a dressing room. Apparently someone had asked if they were doing the vocal work live or sampling and they decided just to show them. That got my appetite roaring for performance later that night.

Now that I’ve been able to play it a few times over, I can say that I’m a huge fan of the verses… but the chorus doesn’t really do it for me. But even so, the overall effect of the song is really fantastic. It’s one of the few songs that doesn’t feel like it was written, it feels composed. Naturally the real hook here is Haley, Amber and Angel’s vocal work. I’m just as amazed as the Roots were in that backstage video. In fact, as Stereogum points out it sounds like the Roots invited them to play that song that their show this Thursday…
