Dirty Projectors is the artist name of musician Dave Longstreth, a Yale dropout from the class of 2005 and Timothy Dwight residential college. His first album, The Graceful Fallen Mango was released under his own name and introduced his distinctive arrangements of both lo-fi and hi-fi production[1]. Longstreth released his first album as "Dirty Projectors" in 2003 entitled The Glad Fact, on the Western Vinyl label. In 2005 he released The Getty Address, a concept album surrounding musician Don Henley; in 2007 he released Rise Above, an album of Black Flag songs as reimagined from memory. In April 2008, Dirty Projectors signed with Domino Records and Longstreth is reportedly planning to release two albums in early 2009[2].
