Biografie

Dirty Projectors are an experimental indie rock collective led by Dave Longstreth accompanied by a shifting cast of band members.

Longstreth’s first album, The Graceful Fallen Mango, was released under his own name and introduced his distinctive arrangements of both lo-fi and hi-fi production. The next year Longstreth fully minted the „Dirty Projectors“ moniker with the release of The Glad Fact on the Western Vinyl label. In 2005, the band released The Getty Address, a concept album about musician Don Henley that features extensive orchestral and choral accompaniment. The diverse, more stripped-down New Attitude EP followed in 2006 and featured inklings of the band’s later vocal interplay and use of intricate guitar work reminiscent of Ali Farka Touré’s.

In 2007 the band released Rise Above, an album of Black Flag songs as reimagined from memory. The album introduced the band’s distinctive contrast between Longstreth’s soaring vocals and the tight harmonies of Amber Coffman and Susanna Waiche (later replaced by Angel Deradoorian). In 2007 the band also performed songs from that album for a Take-Away Show acoustic video session shot by Vincent Moon.

In April 2008, Dirty Projectors signed with Domino Records, and the label announced the release of Bitte Orca for June 9, 2009. That year also found the band collaborating with David Byrne on the song „Knotty Pine“ for the compilation album, Dark Was the Night. Byrne joined the Dirty Projectors onstage to perform this song, along with „Ambulance Man,“ another collaborative track not included on the compilation, at the „Dark Was the Night Live“ concert at New York City’s Radio City Music Hall on May 3, 2009.
