Check out the new song and the full list of tour dates below.Describing the backstory of “Jumbotron,” Longstreth said,“I was thinking about the big screen and the small screen.

Listen to the song!”The most recent group effort from Dirty Projectors was their five-EP run in 2020, including Flight Tower EP. Since then, Longstreth was commissioned to write Song of the Earth, a major piece for a large ensemble, which came out digitally last year.
