I had never really listened to Dirty Projectors up until a couple months ago when a friend of mine turned me on to them. There is such a cluster of good music out there that casualties will be inevitable, but I’m very thankful someone clued me in. They (or I should say he, Dave Longstreth) have an amazing production style, mixing various sounds and recording qualities, and an incredible sense for song structure and melody.
Below is a video of a performance they did for one of their more accessible songs, Rise Above, which is a (loose) reinterpretation of the Black Flag song of the same name.:
