Dirty Projectors' new song
Even though I missed The Dirty Projectors' graces at Death By Audio (I think) two weeks ago, I heard a song of theirs on WNYU yesterday from their new album, Rise Above. The song, also titled "Rise Above," is a complex and certainly respectable piece of music. Just when you thought "ART! music" (with a capital A R T and an exclamation point) could go no further, this song somehow steps forward. With hypnotizing fade-ins and fade-outs of background harmonizing vocals, on top of the lead singer's voice doing his Dirty Projector's thaang, you most definitely have something that you may observe, and not listen to casually. In a nutshell, "Rise Above" is like a SoHo art gallery in a song...And the theme of the gallery would be "big fat trip."
