Dirty Projectors Hit the Road, and Letterman
Hey, if Pitchfork says they're good, it must be true.
The Dirty Projectors are hitting the road again with their latest, Bitte Orca, and they're doing it in style. With an appearance on the Letterman show on August 31st (that's THIS Monday), the band proves once again that they're one of the most eccentric, accessible, and professionally engaging acts running amok right now.
The album (available now) snagged a massive 9.2 rating from snark-behemoth Pitchfork and, speaking from personal experience, their live show is not to be missed. Go pick up Bitte Orca stat, and catch them on tour starting in October.
