Another indie band signs to a major label and this time around, its Dirty Projectors who made it. A report from Billboard.com says the band will be under the UK-based Domino Records.
Dirty Projectors hail from Brooklyn, NY under the direction of Dave Longstreth, a former Yale student. Their lo-fi sound has given the band a unique sound which has garnered enough of a following to give attention to their biggest success Rise Above, released last year.
Domino has signed many artists whose name would ring familiar, particularly The Notwist, Ulrich Schnauss, Animal Collective, Caribou, The Kills, Lightspeed Champion, Elliott Smith and more recently Silver Jews.
Check them out on MySpace or their Official Site.
