Today’s Sounds
“Offspring Are Blank” comes on softly, like a warm, warped spiritual. It’s unusual for Dirty Projectors to deal in sounds so acoustic and pretty, but when the song juts out sideways with raunchy guitars and keys, everything falls into place. And so it goes for the length of the Brooklyn band’s 11th release, wherein their penchant for un-pop time signatures and other dissonant signals are used sparingly, but effectively.
