Artist: Dirty Projectors
EP: Temecula Sunrise
Label: Domino
Released: 28th September
Reviewed by: David B
Following the release of their album Bitte Orca earlier this year, the Brooklyn based six strong “experimental” band release the EP headed by the track Temecula Sunrise.
Listening to it you can immediately see why Bjork collaborated with band leader Dave Longstreth recently. None of that collaboration makes its way here but you can see what attracted the Icelandic star, and it’s a shame as this is badly of some help.
This EP is full of edgy, spiky music where rhythm’s and melody come together in an haphazard style. To be brutally honest it sounds like they got different songs cued up at the same time on the mixing desk.
Maybe that’s the intention but the overriding feeling here is of a band trying to be way too clever to appeal to the hipsters in NY. It makes uncomfortable listening and it couldn’t end soon enough for this weary listener.
