Watch Dirty Projectors drop the soaring, off-kilter “Cannibal Resource” from this year’s excellent Bitte Orca on last night’s unsuspecting Letterman audience up above. Equal parts transcendent harmony, relentless guitar intricacy, and bizarro Longstreth-drawl, they keep the song impressively tight — as they do with all their songs live. Be sure to check them out on their upcoming fall tour (dates after the jump), it’s a pretty breathtaking experience.
Also keep an eye out for the Temecula Sunrise EP, which will be released via Domino on September 28th. Beyond the title-track, the EP will also feature “Cannibal Resource” and two non-album tracks from the Bitte Orca recording sessions (“Ascending Melody”, “Emblem of the World”).
