Top Albums of 2009: Part I
fish across face:
How does the latest Dirty Projectors compare to their other albums? Had strong recommendations circa The Getty Address but didn't enjoy that one much. Same kind of sound?
Also, didn't that Belong album come out in 2007?
Johnny C:
The two most recent Dirty Projectors records have been more full-band affairs, and they've also been more concerned with actual songs - the interesting textures remain but the melodies and structures are a lot more accessible.

^ Full-band sounds like a point against, but actual songs are always a plus. :)
Just read an interview where the main guy was raving about Mariah Carey and Beyonce, which for me is definitely several points in the Dirty Projectors' favour. Will investigate...
scarred:
KEXP gave me a track off of the new Eels record. It's actually really good.

Weird opinion, man. They excel as a live act, so why wouldn't they try to replicate that on record?
