The Stranger

Dirty Projectors' new album, Rise Above, begins with a fun premise: cover Black Flag's Damaged (which main Projector Dave Longstreth hadn't listened to since middle school) from memory. The result is acoustic and choral, a beautifully faded impression of a punk-rock classic. The Dirty Projectors' set will be a pastel reverie; YACHT's will be a hypercolor explosion: Wizard-spaz Jona Bechtolt will dance, sing, give some motivational speeches, and probably hug somebody.
