Dirty Projectors / Anni Rossi

1. Dirty Projectors - Stillness Is The Move

I'm convinced this is what Indie RnB would be if there was such a thing of indie RnB. Very good track though off the Domino Record Label who really don't ever fail with their releases. The Dirty Projectors is Dave Longstreth accompanied by a shifting cast of band members. This is his first album for Domino Records although there has been many records. This is the first single from Bitte Orca.



2. Anni Rossi - The West Coast

This is a grower off 4AD by Anni Rossi. Nice track from her album Rockwell. Anni just recently opened up for labelmates Camera Obscura here in Toronto at Lee's Palace on June 27. You can read a review of her show at our Sister blog Panic Manual right here. Although Panic Manual didn't take to well to the show the single below definately does have some good qualities and has inspired me to track down the full length.

There is a heck of a lot more percussion in this tune than anything she played in her live set (which was really just her foot tapping, amplified).

This is not bad-sounding by any means - it just isn't for me. Her voice, while unique, still reminds me of Leslie Feist with occassional yodle-ing.
