new song, new american & european tour dates, new label ! a moment years in the making right here
i really started writing on the piano when our daughter was born. small worlds exploring family, parenthood, childhood. ‘jumbotron’ is one of those songs, and today it’s out in the world.
american & european dates: on sale now! tickets are available at the link in bio, use code “PIANO”
i’ll be playing mostly solo and sometimes trio, piano and guitar, old songs and new. i can’t wait.
maybe because these songs started so far inside my psyche, they’ve taken an extra long time make it into the world. (that, and i had no idea how to play the piano). i started em five years ago; workshopped em on the tba-DLo tour as the pandy receded; recorded em with the brilliant and beautiful duo of chris bear on drums and karl mcomas reichl on bass (exactly a year ago), met the good people at joyful noise records, did residencies in LA and NY last winter and spring — and at last here we are!
so much to say but for now thank you for listening. hope to see you out there next year — dave

In 2025, David Longstreth and other artists performed at Fighting Oligarchy rallies across the US led by Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In tribute to these rallies and as a reminder of the ongoing battle against governmental corruption, the artists who performed have donated tracks to a benefit compilation, Take America Back. Find it at the link in our bio!
Album proceeds will directly support the fight against corporate influence in our democracy, donated to nonprofits working to keep government for the people, not billionaires. It includes a beautiful live recording of Dirty Projectors performing “Overlord” sung by Maia Friedman @maiafffff . Other tracks by Neil Young, Carole King, Rufus Wainwright, Maggie Rogers, Hüsker Dü, Ratboys, James McMurtry, Mount Joy & more. The fundraising album is only available as an album download / donation. Get out and vote!

New video from VERNACULAR 💿🎥
Yesterday was album release day, today we’re releasing a new video from @davidlongstreth’s 5-movement work Butterfly Dancing Over a Barrel.
DL emptied our cabinet of pitched percussion instruments and came up with all kinds of cool sonic combinations in his piece for us.
Check out TCP’s YouTube channel for the full video (by @nz_media_) and check out the album wherever you listen to music, for the full piece 🎧

Available now! VERNACULAR
🎉🎊🪩💡🎛️
We have had the pleasure of working closely with the singular electronic artist @jlin_p over the past several years. In that time we’ve developed a shared musical vocabulary, a way of speaking with and through one another that has made her one of our most frequent collaborators and one of our dearest musical friends.
On VERNACULAR, we finally had the opportunity to perform together, creating an even more seamless blend of our creative voices and sonic worlds.
Mirroring this collection of Jlin’s work is new music from another musical creator whose penchant for quirkiness and unpredictability has called to us from across the borders of genre, @davidlongstreth. His band, @dirtyprojectors, has been stretching all of our ears and hearts since we were in our twenties, and while it was hard to know exactly what Dave would do with a percussion quartet, it was certain to be fantastical, unique, and compelling.
We round out this album with a short piece by an artist that ties all three of us (TCP, Jlin, Longstreth) together — @philipglass . Glass has collaborated with both Jlin and TCP on several projects, and he was an early inspiration for Longstreth. His musical language has informed all of ours, both individually and in these collaborations.

New single released today! Mvt 2 of Butterfly Dancing Over a Barrel 🦋
This piece was composed by @davidlongstreth for @thirdcoastpercussion last year. Check out the single now on all streaming services, and hear the full 5-movement work when TCP’s album VERNACULAR is released on October 23 🎧
We workshopped this piece together at TCP’s studio in Chicago. Swipe through for some videos of improvised sounds from our very first session together that found their way into the piece…
Many thanks to @carnegiehall for helping to commission the work 🙏🙏🙏🙏 TCP performs the work at Carnegie on March 6, and on tour around the world starting next month.

at 7:30pm on april 16th, 2026, at the long center for the arts, dirty projectors and the austin symphony will perform our 2025 album Song of the Earth
general sale begins this friday, 2/6, at 10am central, but a special batch of pre-sale tickets are going live tomorrow (wednesday) @ 10am CST —— details on well-tempered zealot substack
there are currently no concrete plans to sing the Song anywhere else on Earth — not new york, not london, not sydney, not berlin. but we’re doing it in austin, where the stars at night are big and bright, a mile or so from the old hideout theater on congress where i laptop-karaoked the getty address at sxsw 2005
now ya might suppose that whole darn algorithmic apparatus for cultural discovery is engineered to render something like Song of the Earth as hard to see as a black steer’s tuchus on a moonless night
but when we premiered it for 2,300 people at Disney Hall in LA two years ago, a lot of us saw a different world. there were feelings and sensations in that room that i didn’t have names for — round and big and slightly ungainly ones. it was a rush! it thrilled me. it made me feel so connected to other people
excited to see if it happens again
maia, olga, felicia and i will do the album in full with the symphony, and then play an acoustic band set of dirty projectors ‘classics.’ (thinking like, fucked for life / police story / that’s a lifestyle / irresponsible tune / cannibal resource -type-beat? message me requests … )
april 16th, 2026. long center for the arts. southern bank of the colorado river. 7:30pm. maybe i’ll see you there
