Sing The Melody

Sing The Melody, the third installment in the Domino Documents series, captures Dirty Projectors at a peak in their touring powers. It sees the band head into New York City’s Power Station studios to record refined, road-tested live arrangements of standout songs from 2018's Lamp Lit Prose with thrilling new vocal arrangements, as well as renditions of "Cool Your Heart" and other highlights of Dave Longstreth's writing and recording history.

While the band’s new live-in-studio album doesn’t radically reinvent any songs, trimming some of their more frivolous elements grants new clarity and focus.

There was never any doubt that Dave Longstreth and his collaborators in Dirty Projectors were a world-class band, but after their breakthrough in 2009 with the masterful Bitte Orca, their albums became cleaner, sleaker, and more indebted to electronics and studiocraft.
