DESCRIPTION:
"The first two minutes of The Glad Fact consists of weird keyboards and distorted drums, threatening to veer off into mundane, noisy IDM. Then, out of the harsh mechanical sound enters The Dirty Projectors’ secret weapon: Dave Longstreth’s voice...
This is scary, evocative music, like an Alan Lomax field recording of a dusty, punk troubadour from the imaginary past; Kid A covered under 80 years of dust and gloom, only exchange the robots and clones for forests and abandoned farmhouses. On The Glad Fact, Dave Longstreth is making his own fucked-up version of American music." - Ezra Koenig.

This is the first "official" Dirty Projectors album, composed and played entirely by Longstreth long before he had lovely girl voices and a band backing him up.
It is part of what Longstreth calls "The Dirty Trilogy" along with "Morning Better Last!" and "Slaves Graves' & Ballads".

Released in 2003.
