Dave Longstreth with his Dirty Projectors moniker has been producing the most discordantly pleasurable in intensely satisfying popcraft for some time now. With four full length record under his belt now, those are familiar with Longstreth's musings won't be surprised at the schizophrenic air his latest release. The seven songs release compiles four bipolar gypsy pop romps and three live recordings. While the transition in production between the two distinct sets of songs is a bit drastic the songs are undeniably magnificent, feeding the hype for Longstreth's upcoming 2007 full length. With an undying energy this little EP runs laps around most bands full length releases. Another worthy release to the oh-so-consistently-wonderful Dirty Projectors output. Chameleon.

Considering the fact that I'm not really a critic I can't say if you'll like this CD. However, I can say that as a 22 year old with a taste for interesting and entertaining music this band delivers! Amber and Angel offer sweet melodics to the lead singers rambunctious antics and vocals. Their Drummer slamms the rhythm with such ferocity that you can't help but tap your foot. I loved every song they played. What a killer opening act! I saw them at First Ave in Minneapolis when they opened for Grizzly Bear and they practically stole the show! Great CD in my book. If you ever get a chance to see them live do so!
