DOWNLOAD: Dirty Projectors

The Dirty Projectors' new album Bitte Orca is already popping up on "album of the year" lists, and while we find such evaluation to be criminally premature, the disc is certainly one of the most arresting listens we've recently encountered. Usually when one bandies about the "difficult to categorize" terminology in music reviews it means the reviewer thinks the tunes are simply weird but is afraid to make a judgment based on that for fear of looking out of touch. In the case of The Dirty Projectors, it's an excellent description though if you pressed us we'd describe it as ethereal indie funk.

We find with things like this it's better to just let you be the judge, so download "Stillness Is The Move." If you dig it then check out the band FOR FREE tonight when they play with The Sea And Cake at Pritzker Pavilion in Millennium Park.
