Comment:

Now that they've played Lincoln Center and collaborated with David Byrne (the punchy percussion and mad-for-it melodies of "Knotty Pine"), it's hard to believe that Dirty Projectors spent years building a cult following on Brooklyn's barely legal circuit. It's true though: a Yale dropout (singer/multi-instrumentalist Dave Longstreth) really did find his way across the bridge from the Big Apple — atop loft-party bills that actually encouraged feral guitar riffs, ragged West African rhythms, and wildly expressive backup singers. And with that, Dirty Projectors have become leaders of the underground, a group that can get away with a richly textured Don Henley tribute one second (the hollow cowbells and haunting graveyard shift chorus of "I Sit On the Ridge At Dusk") and a free-associative spin on Henry Rollins ("Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie") the next.
