The weird and winding sounds of Dave Longstreth and his Dirty Projectors will soon be reaching even more ears. The band has signed to Domino Records in preparation for a (benevolent) world takeover.

According to a Billboard.com story and a press release, the band is currently working on two new albums, one of which will be their Domino debut (to be released worldwide in early 2009). The second will be the Dirty Projectors' final release for the excellent Dead Oceans label, which put out last year's breakthrough Rise Above. According to a publicist, that release will be "an album expanding upon and inspired by the arrangements of Rise Above." It's due in fall 2009.

While all of this is exciting, let's not get ahead of ourselves, Projectors. You folks still have a ton of tour dates to burn through!
