The guy playing teapot and all sorts is a legend.....😮

The song writing is stunning, and the skill of the singers remarkable. (This is the first time I’ve heard whistle tone used in harmonies, lol.) Spinning gold from a teapot!

This recording just melts me. No matter how many times I have played it, no fatigue. Only a desire for more. Longtime fan... However, Lamplit & 5 EP's have ascended them to another level. IMO, 5 EP's are brave, selfless, and endlessly elegant. Given that this group of incredible musicians is still relatively new to each other, I believe there is much more to come. Can not wait for them to start touring!

I'm so glad people feel the same way I do about this recording and band. These songs elicit pure joy and amazement from me. The vocal melodies/harmonies are irresistibly catchy on top of deceptively complex instrumentation. I just can't say enough about these songs.

Maia Friedman's voice! Wow!

This whole thing is great, but I particularly love how Felicia just embodies that first song. This has been on repeat all day.

Never heard of this band before but they are dope asf. New fan here.

Of course check out all their albums, not just Bitte Orca ;) . "Swing Lo Magellan" is the closest to their current sound, and "Dirty Projectors" and "Lamp Lit Prose" are more of an R&B vibe.

This is absolutely amazing. I mean, these are the things that break me open, that make me cry so bad; my pains come to the surface, my wounds show up and i cry and cry and cry. Healed, touched and moved by this lovely, warm and deep feeling, healed by these beautiful faces, showing their own journey and growth and healing, they went through. So much love out to dirty projectors, and so much love to every one that wants to feel it. May we live in peace and freedom and truth, so we can acknowledge the love that we are desperately needing and longing for

WOW! For my music taste, this band always gets recommended, but to be honest I never really gave them a shot. I didn't know they were so fantastic! Sorry for taking good so long Dirty Projectors

The guitarist sounds so beautiful... like butter smooth ❤️

This version of Overlord is truly beautiful. Love this version of their music. I'm a new fan as well :)

So wait, to play guitar, Dave Longstreth plays a lefty strung guitar, but to play bass, he plays a right-handed bass upside down? What?! My mind esplode.

Those high notes are cotton candy for my ears

I encourage anyone who wants to go for a trip to listen to "Gun has no Trigger" by them on headphones.

Best part of my day so far! Thanks to everyone involved :)

I've listened to this so many times and it hasn't dulled even the slightest bit. And I can't believe it was only a year or so ago - I feel like it's been part of my life for at least five years.... totally exquisite.

That is what we in the 70s call "sang'n"!! 🙏🔥

The guitar in lose your love is what peak guitar creativity sounds like

I just cried, Felicia, Maia, and Kristin's voices are angelic perfection!

Such a talented group! Fantastic

Been loving the new EPs! You guys are amazing

Thoroughly enjoyed this music...and the energy they projected...Thank you so much.

I've been listening to the Dirty Projectors for some time now and honestly with each album they just keep getting better and better. Amazing music!

Great voices performance. Wonderful musicians all of you. Thanks for this beautiful moment.

god felicia crushes lose your love. just nails it. edit: god they really nail every song. Beautiful version of Overlord too

One of my favorite groups. Thanks for sharing, NPR!

Been looking forward to this. Love the new EP!

Wow, smiling and trying to find the perfect words to say how Great you all are...Thank You! Looking forward to more please 😘

He must've been the drummer on Fetch The Bolt Cutters

Feeling nostalgic 🤗 great to see you here dirty projectors 💕

I dont know how you could watch this n not smile. Thank y'all; That was beautiful! Y'all had me cryin. Thats whats up

Your music is beautiful to my ears! I smiled the whole time.

Such great compositions as always from them!

There are not enough words to express the sense of enchantment and rapture from listening to this performance. Otherworldly. Beautiful. Moving. Fun. A freaking godsend.

i'm so in love with the two EPs they released this year ❤️

Yo, New favorite band. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️amazing. Voices and melodies like honey. One of a kind.

Wow. Speechless. Just amazing. Thank you for beautiful music.

I absolutely love these acoustic versions of the songs from Flight Tower, great stuff guys!

Beautiful! 😍 This definitely brings a smile to my face and calms the spirit. 🌸

I have been waiting all quarantine for this! Thank you!

man Dave's a seriously underrated guitar player

The 2 EPs that have come out so far are already my favourite music this year...and there's three to go.

Incredible vocals

FULL OF POWER. Shed some tears halfway through.

Gosh, are they excellent! Thanks to the band and NPR for this.

I love this band! Glad they got a tiny desk!

Wow this is beautiful. Can't believe how good this sounds.

well that was just about the most beautiful thing ive ever heard....

Is it possible to dislike this at all? Such talented musicians...

search for life , all i can say is WOW and that im crying. so beautiful

love the way she plays the keytar!!! bets instrument ever

This is so effortless, graceful and beautifully original. Tears appear from somewhere unknown.

Thank you so much for this, beatiful band!

I love this so much. What an amazing performance. ❤️

DP has been killing it with the EPs lately. This is such a good spotlight!!!

you guys are so amazing! thank you

Thanks a lot to All of You !!🤗🙏 So nice voices and everything !! Astrid (Paris)

i love all of them.

what a great band. love 'em!

Loving this new “Dave’s not singing” period. I mean, I love Dave’s voice, but at least now I can actually recommend them to people- the pop melodies shine thru with other voices! And the home concert sounds perfect- they should do this weekly!

Been listening to Dirty Projectors since 2006. I have never understood people's distaste for Dave's singing. It's real tho. So many people just can't seem to find a place with him. Makes me sad and confused. But it's true that so many more people will fall in love with his music if it's different voices singing his songs.

@roncolem7195

@@heathflagtvedt5769 I don't think his voice is bad but it's just something about it that throws off some of their songs. Some people have quirky singing styles that work perfectly with the songs( David Byrne, Adrian Belew with King Crimson comes to mind). Others it takes something away from them. I said the same thing about Danielle Haim. If she was a singer in a post punk band , it would work. But for a poprock group it's seems slightly off. It's no hate because they're( Dave and Danielle) are both talented people. It's just an opinion.

Wow, just what my soul needed, so love the DP's :D

Good music! Thanks for all musicians!

The second these guys start touring again I’m gonna fly to the U.S with a smile soooo wide.

Felicia Douglas has the voice and I love this performance. Have to play it everyday. This is my inspiration song. Keep up the good work F. D. And Dirty Projectors. You guys are dope.

Your quarentine versions are lovely!!❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Wow, you all performed so well 😀 You music has such an enjoyable sweet sound. I also loved your sweet message about the worlds circumstances 💕 Your name really made me smile 😁 I'd love to hear the story behind how it came to be your groups name, I bet it's a good one.

Love that percussion! Proof that you don't have to spend a lot of money on drums 🥁

Those beautiful harmonies

Perfect! I fall asleep and woke up at the time for work (home office), And I needed something to listen that helps me to planning my day awesome!, great music!

My only regret is that I was so late to discover the magic of this band. Just have to make up for it with times like these. Great show!

Great harmonies. Edit: Mission accomplished Kristin, these tunes definitely brought some extra happiness into my day.

Beautiful ❤

Anyone else get chills and a teary eye when Maia sings "It's assured, good outweighs bad as we approach perfection" in "Overlord"? I've loved Dave's songwriting for 15 years and he still manages to surprise me with these gems. :)

That whole song brings up all the feels for me. Those lyrics coupled with Maia's tone and harmonies get me melted like butter on a pancake that's still in the skillet. I've been listening to Dirty Projectors for a while now, too, and was worried at the line-up changes but this new stuff is absolutely delicious.

wow so beautiful!

I've been listening to Overlord on Spotify for the past number of weeks...god I love that song. Finally i saw the glorious woman who sings it...wow...beautiful.
