Bitte Orca
“The challenging art-poppers led by Dave Longstreth have made their best and most accessible album, a record that's one of the year's real highlights.”
5EPs
“Dirty Projectors are, literally, a brand new band on 5EPs”
Swing Lo Magellan
“Dave Longstreth guides Dirty Projectors toward their most human and least ornate release yet. It's an album of deeply appealing simplicity that mixes subtle folk protest and gorgeous paeans to young love.”
The Glad Fact
“Things you should know about Dave "D-Lo" Longstreth, the singer, visual artist, and multi-instrumentalist behind The Dirty Projectors: The Yale dropout is (why pull punches?) a nobrow genius, who claims to find similar solaces in the work of Beethoven, Wagner, Zeppelin and Timberlake. He is obsessed with rendering into song an image that congeals the iconography of Poe, Hitchcock, and McDonalds.”
The Getty Address
“With a convoluted backstory and a protagonist named Don Henley, this high-concept LP comes with plenty of baggage.”
Rise Above
“A song-by-song "reimagining" of Black Flag's Damaged, the excellent new album by Dirty Projectors is, more importantly, the work of a band that is restructuring rock on a compositional level rather than a sonic one.”
Wavelength is the Letterboxd for music.
