Since his earliest recorded work, Dave Longstreth's fractured art-pop songs exhibited a largeness that belied their lowly four-track origins. However, the Dirty Projectors mastermind's later works, like 2005's ambitious The Getty Address (a stunningly weird rock opera about Don Henley and post-9/11 America), fleshed out his lo-fi songwriting technique with lush woodwind arrangements, higher production values, multi-layered choral lines — and, of course, Longstreth's larger-than-life vocal stylings. Heck, even his reinterpretation of Black Flag's iconic Damaged LP managed to give stripped-down hardcore punk an epic, sweeping feel. Tonight, Longstreth and the rest of Dirty Projectors give locals a chance to hear tracks off the new Bitte Orca record live.
