Indie rock

Dirty Projectors is a Indie rock act. Their sound grew out of Frank Zappa, Moses Sumney, Delicate Steve, Hot Chip and Grizzly Bear. Those roots explain a lot about how Dirty Projectors arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Animal Collective, The Fiery Furnaces, Menomena, Deerhunter and Destroyer, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Hiatus Kaiyote, Honeyglaze and Vampire Weekend, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 32 connections around Dirty Projectors, reaching back through Frank Zappa and forward to Hiatus Kaiyote.
