Dirty Projectors, David Longstreth and s t a r g a z e release new track, "Bank On"

"I can imagine the title of this song in the voice of Sean Penn’s Spiccoli from Fast Times At Ridgemont High: "bank on, bro." The title is short for a phrase in the lyrics, 'bank on apocalypse:’ short-selling our collective investment in a livable future in the hopes of making a buck in the meantime," says David Longstreth.

"It's kind of a Shock Doctrine idea. The chorus is a reverse-reverb call to prayer from the future, invoking horror and regret over our failed custodianship of the planet. The central image of “Bank On” is of one of those big granite-block, doric-columns emblems of institutional permanence built on eroding sand. Banks on banks on banks. Keep swaying the kelpbeds in Babylon. Bank on, bro."
