Dirty Projectors Prep 5th Album

June release preceded by multiple shows at SXSW plus a UK tour.

By Blurt Staff

Dirty Projectors are set to release 'Bitte Orca', their 5th full-length album and first for Domino Records on June 9.  It's their followup to 2007's Rise Above, a healthily-hyped but ultimately insubstantial "reimagining" of the Black Flag album of the same name. This new platter was recorded in Portland, OR and on their home turn in Brooklyn, NY in 2008 and will be available on CD, LP & digital. David Longstreth formed Dirty Projectors in 2002 and the group now consists of Angel Deradoorian, Amber Coffman, Brian Mcomber and David as principal members.  Lead single 'Stillness Is The Move' will precede the album on April 21st in North America and will be available on 12" and digital, with b-sides and a remix by Lucky Dragons.

Dirty Projectors will also be introducing an expanded 6 member live lineup with the addition of bassist Nat Baldwin and vocalist Haley Dekle for a number of dates this winter and spring. The dates include a very special show at the Walker Arts Center in Minneapolis on March 6th, a number of SXSW performances, a UK Arts Council headline tour and more.
