Dirty Projectors and Wye Oak

Friday, August 3, at the Kessler Theater

"Experimental" falls short of describing most of the Dirty Projectors' output, although the recently released Swing Low Magellan edges a bit closer to conventional song structures. While the recorded music is probably more admired than enjoyed, the band has been quite a treat to watch mature. Singer David Longstreth is a very capable guitarist, and the backing harmonies provide a little more melody and form. Opening the show is Baltimore duo Wye Oak, whose acclaimed 2011 release Civilian was produced by John Congleton. Singer/guitarist Jenn Wasner has a placid voice, the perfect parallel to drummer/keyboardist Andy Stack.
