Take your pick from the liner notes of Dirty Projectors’ THE GETTY ADDRESS: “The Getty Address is a sprawling, layered glitch opera about Don Henley, leader of the country/soft-rock group The Eagles,” and/or “The Getty Address is about the conflict of Hernan Cortes and the Azetcs in 1519-21, the virtualization of wilderness on a completely circumscribed globe, dirty projection, and love cerebral and spiritual.” Or maybe it’s just all tosh. This is art-rock at its most pretentious and free-form jazziest, but that’s not to say it’s terrible. Surprisingly good bits appear throughout and if you have a taste for adventurous music (not merely noise), this may please. –Mark Rose
