Even on early recordings, Longstreth's somewhat manic output was a collision of hi-fi and lo-fi aesthetics rooted in academic complexity as he combined elegant melodies, knotty rhythms and sophisticated harmonic architecture. Longstreth released his first solo work in 2002, titled <i>The Graceful Fallen Mango</i>, followed by the first LP under the Dirty Projectors moniker, <i>The Glad Fact</i>, released in 2003 on Austin-based Western Vinyl. LPs followed in 2005 and 2007 -- <i>The Getty Address</i> and <i>Rise Above</i>, respectively -- each finding a wider audience, new supporting musicians and greater critical acclaim. In 2006, Longstreth was joined for the first time by Amber Coffman, whose vocals became a key element of the band's sound. In 2009, their profile increased further, hooking collaborations with Bjork and David Byrne, along with releasing the highly acclaimed <i>Bitte Orca</i>. - Nate CavalieriIndie Popen720Tue, 8 Dec 2009 00:08:23 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7251444&rws=%2Fdirty-projectors%2Ftop-tracks.rss In 2002, Dave Longstreth left music composition studies at Yale University to pursue a career in music, eventually assuming the name of the Dirty Projectors.
