The Dirty Projects discography includes 7 studio albums, 3 EPs and a number of singles and collaborations. The band is the main creative outlet for songwriter and multi-instrumentalist David Longstreth.[1] Throughout his career he has collaborated with a number of people, both under his own name and as the Dirty Projectors.

Together with his brother Jake, Longstreth spent part of the years 2001 and 2002 working on a number of musical ideas.[2] This resulted in the first album, released under his own name, entitled The Graceful Fallen Mango of which 500 copies appeared on This Heart Plays Records in 2002.[3][4] The rest of the material that had previously appeared on cassette was compiled on the album Morning Better Last!, released in September 2003 under the Dirty Projectors name.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page). In November 2003 the Dirty Projectors released their first album The Glad Fact through Western Vinyl records.[5] Pitchfork described the album as "some bizarrely tuned and timed Connecticut jazz",[6] while Ezra Koenig found it a "scary, evocative music, like an Alan Lomax field recording" in Dusted Magazine.[7] It was followed by Slaves' Graves & Ballads in June 2004, which consisted of an acoustic session recorded with Adam Forkner and six songs recorded live with a chamber orchestra.[8]

In April 2005, the band released The Getty Address, their last album through Western Vinyl.[9] It was described as a 'glitch opera' about Americana that involved Don Henley.[10] Longstreth gathered a number of musicians around him and began to tour, while working on new material. This resulted in Rise Above and featured long-standing band members Amber Coffman and Brian McOmber.

In May 2009, Björk and Dirty Projectors wrote a musical suite entitled Mount Wittenberg Orca and performed it at a Manhattan benefit concert.[15] In April 2010, Björk and Dirty Projectors recorded the suite at Brooklyn studio Rare Book Room.[15]

Mount Wittenberg is located at Point Reyes National Seashore in California.
