Dirty Projectors and David Byrne - “Knotty Pine”
Dark Was the Night is a killer 2-disc compilation album from 4AD being released Feb. 17th. The album features music recorded specially for the compilation (some new songs, some covers) and the artist list is a veritable who’s who of noteworthy acts: Arcade Fire, The Books, Jose Gonzalez, Bon Iver, Grizzly Bear, Yeasayer, Feist, The Decemberists, and the list goes on and on. As if that wasn’t enough, all proceeds from Dark Was the Night benefit the RED HOT Organization. So it’s not just a pretty line-up, it’s for a good cause as well.
“Knotty Pine”, from the Dirty Projectors and David Byrne, is the lead-off track from the album, and I think it does a great job of setting the stage for the rest of the compilation. It’s upbeat, fun, it features a piano, and you can’t go wrong with pianos. A new song from the record is streaming at DWtN’s MySpace page everyday until the album is released on Feb. 17, but if you’re already convinced it’s worth owning, head over to the official page and pre-order the album.
