Dirty Projectors no Odisséia. Foto do URBe. Vale pedir desculpas por estarmos ausentes nessa semana INTENSA? Valendo ou não, já adianto que os motivos não são menos do que sensacionais. Estamos preparando uma programação mais do que especial para o final de dezembro e começo de janeiro. Só coisa incrível: nossos melhores de 2009, o incrível BR00 (retrospectiva completíssima da música brasileira nos anos 2000 desenvolvida em parceira com o Move That Jukebox e a Revista O Grito!), uma retrospectiva pessoal da década por cada um dos nossos escribas (canções que embalaram [...]
Album #24: Bitte Orca by Dirty Projectors While I had heard of the Dirty Projectors before this year, I had not actually heard them until their collaboration with David Byrne on the Dark Was The Night compilation. That song, Knotty Pine, is fantastic and it was enough to get me pretty excited for the release of Bitte Orca . When the record finally arrived it took some time before it clicked with me...but when it finally did it clicked loudly. And now I love it [...]
Photo by Filkoe I saw Tune-Yards (not TuNe-YaRdS, as I'm afraid of my shift key) open for the Dirty Projectors last week while visiting the cold and wet Salt Lake City. I had no idea who they (I later found out it was just a she) were, but the gorgeous, all-over-the-spectrum noises this woman was making, all on her own, mind you, was downright awesome . As Merrill Garbus (the woman) banged and bellowed and wailed through her set, I excitedly tweeted about the excellence my ears were treated to. [...]
Monday: The Jesus Lizard @ Irving Plaza 9pm $25 [ tix ] This week as folks look forward to next week's holiday a number of indie rock heavyweights will be hitting town to deliver the goods before the Holiday Season truly kicks into gear. First up are heavy rock luminaries The Jesus Lizard. They already left us in awe with their 9/11 references and stage diving at ATP NY, then blew away the invited crowd at the Vice Halloween bash, now their doing a few shows that aren't quite as exclusive as those [...]
By Alex Schaaf Before I went to the Dirty Projectors show this past Friday night at Chicago's Bottom Lounge , I had heard from some people who saw them earlier in the week that their set was excellent but subdued, as Dave Longstreth and the rest of the band played through the setlist with little movement or visible excitement. But then I saw them play Chicago. Clearly I need to find out why other people were lying to me, as last night's show was full of intense guitar dueling, excited movement [...]
The blipster of the Knowles family and Queen B's little sister Solange took the time to cover one of my favorite songs of the year, and I'll love her eternally for it. Her "Stillness Is The Move" cover is built one of the most recognizable Dr. Dre samples out there (yes, that funky, ear-bending " XXplosive " twang). Major props to Pitchfork for finally dropping this one. I've been dying to hear it ever since Solange tweeted about it back in July! Listen and download to the cover after the jump. [...]
Apparently Solange (aka Beyonce's little sister) has been bumping into the Dirty Projectors lately, and she's loved their Brooklyn hit " Stillness Is The Move" and decided to go on ahead and do her own cover, sampling " Bumpy's Lament " by Soul Mann & The Brothers. It was a mere surprise for everyone that the R&B singer decided to cover it. It's pretty good, and a lot of DP and Solange fans are enjoying it. Does anybody else hear a Mariah Carey comparison? I never even knew she could sing that high, [...]
Little Knowles covers cool indie band. Thank you. Solange Knowles - Stillness in the Move (Dirty...
MP3 : Stillness Is the Move This premiered on Pitchfork a few hours ago and I've listened to it like five times. It's definitely the easiest way to trick your friends into liking Dirty Projectors (THEIR MELODIES AND TIME SIGNATURES ARE SO COMPLICATED AND WEIRD!!!!).
HANK ALTOGETHER: Solange Knowles puts the R&B back in the Dirty Projectors post-post-post jam "Stillness is the Move" Ha ha-hua hi-yeah-ha, hahahaha! That was my impression of the song. Not laughing at it. It's pretty great. Ty, P4k . Solange - "Stillness is the Move" (Dirty Projectors Cover)

Western Vinyl seems to have a few gems in their repertoire. Here are just a few: Dirty Projectors ::...
Dirty Projectors just released an EP for their track "Temecula Sunrise" that will also include another Bitte Orca track "Cannibal Resource". From the EP, we do receive two exclusive tracks that did not make it on their album release. Unfortunately for those Stateside, the EP is only being released in the UK, but we do have "Ascending Melody" available for you and we think that it is just amazing. It's a jam session where the vocals harmonize sweetly and the guitars are complicated and add a nice flair to a vocally driven track. By the end you're clapping along [...]
It has been a huge year for Dirty Projectors! With the release of Bitte Orca the band went from being an interesting little indie band to being a band that could appear on all the late night talk shows and tour the world to packed houses. It was a pretty big leap but based on the tremendous pop sounds coming off Bitte Orca it's one that is totally merited. Ask just about any music critic about their year end list right now and I assure you Bitter Orca will come up just about every [...]
In case you haven't heard Dirty Projectors have recently released an EP entitled Temecula Sunrise, don't take it personally if you didn't know about it, those jerks at Domino Records are only releasing it in the UK. Our friends overseas have been treated to Temecula Sunrise and Cannibal Resource from Bitte Orca as well as two previously unreleased tracks, Melody and this song right here, " Emblem of the world ". The B-side, Emblem of the World is what can be expected from the six piece Brooklyn experimental rock band. Harmonious vocals over loosely [...]
Earlier this year, I attended a Dirty Projectors show and it was simply amazing. I was pretty familiar with all of the songs they played, but when they started playing " Ascending Melody " (called "That's My Move" at the time), I was confused to as where this track belonged. Well the studio version of that song has finally made its way to the internet, and getting a place as a b-side in the 12" of Temecula Sunrise. The track is like any other Dirty Projectors song, mixing the odd instruments together in a way that [...]
The New York Times called him “indie rock’s workaholic mad genius,” but L.A. RECORD finds the measure of Dirty Projectors’ David Longstreth somewhere between the most subtle implications of Philip Glass’ Music In Fifths and the sudden desire for a sandwich. This interview by Drew Denny.
Dirty Projectors' new song "When The World Comes To An End" is great, and deploys a brilliant technique where the female singers each take a syllable of a wordless melody and sing them in such a tight sequence that it sounds like one person singing: Dirty Projectors - When The World Comes To An End (live on Jimmy Fallon) It's perfectly and affectingly executed, but I'm thinking that chief Projector Dave Longstreth, being a former music student and all, has copied the technique from this little bit of [...]
I’m not sure whether to smile or vomit at how adorable this record is, but because I am reviewing this record and need to be honest with you, I have to drop my mask and say, “I like this record.” There—I said it. With a name like Princeton and the fact that the dudes in the band wear boat shoes, they seem to fit the term “prep rock”— invented solely to describe Vampire Weekend. But Princeton’s first full-length had me at the trumpets on opener “Sadie and Andy.” I even felt a bit sad when after 3 minutes and 36 [...]
