DIRTY PROJECTORS TO RELEASE NEW 7
Dirty Projectors | 27/05/10
To coincide with Dirty Projectors’ forthcoming show at the Barbican in London as well as their recently announced UK festival appearances, they will be releasing Stillness Is The Move as a 7” for the first time, on 19th July 2010.
Originally released in Summer 2009 around their album, Bitte Orca, Stillness Is The Move features a solo vocal piece from the band’s Amber Coffman who ‘sprinkles shiver-inducing Mariah-style R&B gymnastics over a deliciously tense Afro-hop backing’. (NME, number 1 track of the week). One of the greatest tracks Domino has ever released, we wanted you to hear this again.

Review of the LA performance of The Getty Address:
"A bold reminder of Longstreth's background in (and continuing commitment to) experimental art music in all its challenging structural complexity." - LA Times
UK press reviews of Bitte Orca:
"Easy on the ear yet mightily complex, warmly empathetic and a kaleidoscope of styles." "8/10" - NME
"A dazzling array of songs that span just about any genre you can name, as well as a few you can’t, because Longstreth has only just invented them." "4*" - Sunday Times
