Dirty Projectors – 5 EPS – Vinyl LP

The next chapter for Dirty Projectors is a sequence of five four-song EPs. Each EP features lead vocals by a different band member including Maia Friedman, Felicia Douglass, Kristin Silpp and Dave Longstreth. The final EP features vocals by all members. Each song collection is strikingly different from the next, but true to itself: Maia’s Window Opens is acoustic & folky; Felicia’s Flight Tower is super future, both soulful & electronic. Kristin’s Earth Crisis is cut-up orchestral collage — looped, pitch-shifted, digitally deconstructed— and Dave’s Super João is four-track bossa nova. Ring Road, the final EP, recapitulates everything with a classic full-band Dirty Projectors sound.
