Explained simply
Dirty Projectors is an American band led by singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Longstreth. Its sound has shifted across its career, drawing on indie rock, choral singing and other musical styles, and the group has released several albums since forming in the early 2000s.
Longstreth’s solo work is separate from the band’s releases, though he often collaborates with its musicians. Well Tempered Zealot is the group’s new record label, an independent imprint through which musicians can release recordings.
The tour and new song offer a way to hear how Longstreth and the band are continuing their work after their 2025 album, Song of the Earth. The shows also bring the music to audiences in the United States and Europe.
