On June 9, Domino (in conjunction with Domino the rapper) will release Bitte Orca, Dirty Projectors' fifth LP and follow-up to 2007's life-altering-because -- really -- everything-alters-your-life-whether-you-know-it-or-not Rise Above (TMT Review). The album will be preceeded by a single, "Stillness Is the Move," which will include B-sides and a Lucky Dragons remix.
Meanwhile, Dirty Projectors have added two new touring members, bassist Nat Baldwin (TMT Review) and vocalist Haley Dekle, according to P4K. They'll play some scattered U.S. dates starting today that will take them to SXSW and then ultimately to England. While they're in London, Bang on a Can will debut a work by head DP member Dave Longstreth at New York's Kaufman Center.
Meanwhile, another album is already in the bag, according to Billboard. We expect details shortly. Jai ho, indeed!
