Breaking: Dirty Projectors

Who: Dirty Projectors, a Brooklyn five-piece led by mastermind David Longstreth whose unusual blend of blues and punk has captured the attention of David Byrne, Björk and TV on the Radio. Sound Like: The band’s latest album Bitte Orca mixes soul-inflected vocal harmonies, jagged art-rock guitar and Timbaland-like rhythms. Aging hipster’s gripe “Stillness Is the Move” sounds like Talking Heads by way of Destiny’s Child. Vital Stats: • Longstreth began the Dirty Projectors while studying classical
