The American Museum of Natural History’s One Step Beyond series continues on Friday (1/20) in the Rose Center with a headlining DJ set by Dirty Projectors with support from DJ sets by Skinny Friedman and Import/Export and visuals by Glowing Pictures. Tickets are still available, though reportedly going super fast.

In other news, Bang on a Can are releasing a double album called Big Beautiful Dark and Scary on February 28 via Cantaloupe Music. The album features three pieces by Dirty Projectors’ Dave Longstreth. In honor of Bang on a Can’s 25th anniversary, the album has been available for free download for the first 25 days of January. There’s only a few days left so grab it while you still can.

Dirty Projectors are also working on their own new album, which will be released this spring.

Dirty Projectors member Nat Baldwin just played The Manhattan Inn last Sunday (1/15). Brian Kerr said the show was pretty rad. What did you think? Nat kicks off a European tour on Friday (1/20). All dates are listed below.
