Aug 16, 2012 Wye Oak By Margot Cooper Gruen

Dirty Projectors have announced the premiere of their short film, Hi Custodian. The film will be shown at Landmark Sunshine Cinema in NYC on September 6 and online through Pitchfork.TV x Youtube on September 7. The film features music from July release Swing Lo Magellan and members of Dirty Projects. Directed by David Longstreth, check out the trailer below.

According to a press release, Hi Custodian is “inspired by music films like Kanye West’s Runaway and Prince’s Purple Rain, it follows band members as they inhabit a variety of characters in a surreal narrative about spiritual death and rebirth.”

Also, this Friday, August 17 NPR will be streaming a live videocast of the Dirty Projectors with Wye Oak from the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC here.
