Dirty Projectors | Williamsburg Waterfront

With Magnolia Electric Co. and Crystal Antlers

While Bjork- and David Byrne-endorsed Dirty Projectors have undergone more band changes than you’ll ever remember, at the heart of it is the brilliant David Longstreth, a songwriter who has been banging out fractured pop at a breakneck speed since 2002. Longstreth and company meld gorgeous harmonies with oft-kilter sounds and instrumentation, yielding them a devoted and steadily growing fanbase. Their recently released “Bitte Orca” is some of their most accessible music to date, yet still brims with unusual time signatures and atonal bursts of sound. With Magnolia Electric Co. and Crystal Antlers.
