  • Ever ambitious, the work of Brooklyn-based experimental indie group the Dirty Projectors here takes a bizarre narrative turn. Ostensibly a concept album about the singer Don Henley, it takes its protagonist on a strange, near-suicidal journey through avant Americana, culminating with the lead singer crooning about brown finches. Epic in scope, The Getty Address features around 25 different musicians contributing various orchestral lines, while the core of the band takes care of the overriding story arc.
Professional Reviews
The Wire (pp.55-57) - "'Tour Along The Potomac' lurches along with some sepia-tinged 40s dance band clarinets tootling away pleasingly, and Longstreth tackling the melody with vigour."
