–Featured Release: Dirty Projectors: “Dirty Projectors”–

Genre: Indie-Rock/Experimental // Label: Domino Recording Co Ltd

Background:

For a decade now, Brooklyn-based experimental rockers Dirty Projectors have been providing an unconventional listening experience. Their penchant for throwing odd time signatures, thumping bass lines, mesmerizing vocals, and electronic elements into a blender and seeing what comes out the other side has yielded surprisingly consistent results – especially considering their brazen exploration of any and all things weird. Bitte Orca became one of their most well received albums in 2009. Boxer Calvin Klein Al Mayor After developing some pop sensibilities to match their burgeoning experimental energy with 2012’s Swing Lo Magellan, their music became the perfect blend of what was interesting and what made sense. The band’s self-titled record not only marks another step in that direction, but it also makes a hefty push towards the artsy offerings of peers like Justin Vernon.
