Dirty Projectors are David Longstreth's band. Where his life goes, so goes the band. The 2017 album Dirty Projectors was a breakup record, with Longstreth writing about the end of his relationship with band member Amber Collins. Now, a year later, things are looking decidedly more upbeat with Lamp Lit Prose. It's the eighth studio album from the Brooklyn-based Dirty Projectors. The group rises above the indie rock (and indie pop) pack, with Longstreth's distinctive songwriting and vocal style, and those dazzling electronic bleats and blurps that we love from this band. A prime example is the song in the video below.
