Dirty Projectors: there is a Light That Will Never Go Out

Given the general lameness and sameness that surrounds us daily in the form of popular music, culture and media, one must truly deem the near-mainstream success and acceptance incurred by Dirty Projectors as a minor miracle in an age of largely non-reason.

The boy-girl posse of players and singers led by scheming mad-man Dave Longstreth, who also happens to be a crafty singer, songwriter and musician to boot, continues to awe and amaze though seven records of art pop meets a capella vocal stylings meets R&B grooves and bumps.

Hot on the heels of last year’s excellent and far-reaching Bitte Orca comes the seven song cycle concept album featuring their fan and friend Björk, Mount Wittenberg Orca, a digital-only release whose proceeds will go to the National Geographic Society (BTW not the first time they lend their name to a charity). Please use the Dirty Projectors’ accomplishments as hope for future generations that all is not lost.
