Gun Has No Trigger is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming Dirty Projectors album, Swing Lo Magellan, out on Domino on July 9/10.
The clip was directed by Dave Longstreth, and features him, Amber Coffman, and Haley Dekle; Longstreth has issued a statement on his directorial debut, via Domino:
“GUN HAS NO TRIGGER is about the possibility for true dissent, and how I can’t figure out what that could be. What is a 2012 Exodus from the Society of the Spectacle (to mix language Situationist and Rastafari)? So we made a video from the iconography of the default profile image used by Facebook and Gmail, and also the look of the classic Apple iPod commercials. The colors in the background are the ones I think of when I hear the harmonies of Amber and Haley (via experimental synesthesia). Enjoy!!”
