I don’t know who writes Dirty Projectors press releases but man do they suck.
Back on a tour of the States after playing everywhere else for a coupla of months they announced their plans with a plethora of stupid bird references. Here is what they plan on playing: “We’re going to pack about 18 nights’ worth of songs into our rucksacks and just plan on letting a few go in every city. The songs will be from phylum Orca, genus Mount Wittenberg; genus Bitte; various specimens of the Rise Above family, maybe some from the New Attitude kingdom, and hopefully a few other more unclassifiable ones.”
Now, I’ve seen em live twice and even with the promise of Mount Wittenbrg tracks, I’ll give it a miss. Radio City? Maybe. Terminal 5? Not so much.
