Dirty Projectors — Bitte Orca

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 12, 2009 12:05 pm
Dirty Projectors seem to have finally found the balance between experimentalism and pop on Bitte Orca. Its songs are out-there without being overly esoteric or cerebral, and are poppy, but manage stay true to the group's nerd rock roots. "Temecula Sunrise" begins with a folky intro before math rock guitar riffs and shifting time...

CHARTattack PRESENTS | Artists to Watch Out For in 2012

in
By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) January 4, 2012 1:30 pm
2011 saw the rise of Lana Del Rey, the fall of R.E.M. and the reunion of Pulp. A lot can happen in the music industry in just 365 days. When a new year dawns on us, we have nothing but high hopes for those veteran artists releasing anticipated new material or those fresh voices impressing us with their unique debuts. Three days in, and 2012 is...

Bjork, Dirty Projectors Team Up For Album

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) July 5, 2010 2:36 pm
Bjork's dressed up as a swan, but she's never appeared in a whale costume (at least to our knowledge). On record, though, some of the songs she makes could sound pretty... um... whale-ish. Dirty Projectors frontman Dave Longstreth has a similar obsession with weird vocal melodies and harmonies, so it's only fitting that Bjork and Dirty...

By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) January 12, 2010 11:33 am
Dirty Projectors are a little late on this holiday gifts thing, but let's not hold that against them. The Brooklyn, N.Y. sextet are offering fans a free download of "Ascending Melody," which was recorded during the sessions for last year's Bitte Orca (the CHARTattack staff's fourth favourite album of 2009) but didn't make the disc...

Dirty Projectors — "Stillness Is The Move"

in
By CHARTattack Staff June 30, 2009 1:48 pm
The video for Dirty Projectors' "Stillness Is The Move" looks like a weird marriage of the Lord Of The Rings and Is Your Mama A Llama?. OK, not really, but there is a llama, which Dave Longstreth around, while Nat Barber spins in a circle unaided and Amber Coffman, Angel Deradoorian and Haley Dekle sing and dance in weird blue dresses...

This is probably the Dirty Projectors' poppiest release, but it's still weird as hell and one of the songs sounds like a Yes remix. The backup vocals are a little grating, and while I don't think this is the best release of the year (as many people I know are saying), it's enjoyable in parts. But what the hell is with the folky "Temecula...

Dirty Projectors Releasing Black Flag-Inspired Record

in
By Lindsay Craig (CHARTattack) August 1, 2007 4:30 pm
Brooklyn, New York's Dirty Projectors will release a Black Flag-inspired album titled Rise Above on Sept. 11 through Dead Oceans. The record was conceptualized when frontman Dave Longstreth stumbled upon an old cassette case from the vintage hardcore band's 1981 album, Damaged. The tape itself was missing, so Longstreth decided to record the...
