## Summary

Dirty Projectors have released “Jumbotron”, a new single marking the band’s first new music since Dave Longstreth scored the 2025 film The Legend of Ochi. The release follows the group’s signing with Joyful Noise and the launch of Longstreth’s imprint, Well-Tempered Zealot; it also offers a possible hint of the band’s future musical direction.

Longstreth sings and plays piano on the track, joined by Grizzly Bear drummer Chris Bear, upright bassist Karl McComas-Reichl and six Los Angeles session musicians on horns. The song has a restrained, wandering jazz feel, while Longstreth describes it as reflecting on screens, entertainment and attention. He is due to tour solo next year, including dates in the UK and Europe.
