STAFF PICK: Dirty Projectors, Rise Above (Dead Oceans): “Yale dropout Dave Longstreth's constantly fluctuating Dirty Projectors attempts to rerecord Black Flag's Damaged from memory, and it turns out exactly the same . . . except for the choir vocals, flute solos, string sections, jaw-dropping musicianship and sounding like it was recorded by an evolved race of humans 2,000 years in the future.” (Kyle Olson, host ofThings That Are Square, Thursdays at 6 p.m.)
