Notorious for his absurd glitch-opera about Don Henley, Dave Longstreth epitomizes the recent wave of young, conceptual-pop hipsters. For his newest Dirty Projectors project, Longstreth has done something paradoxically brand new and familiar: Recreating Black Flag’s 1981 album Damaged, his favorite from adolescence (although Black Flag fans expecting a faithful collection of covers may be sorely disappointed). Having not heard the album since middle school, Longstreth employed memory and imagination in equal measure to recreate the album again for the first time. “I wanted to see if I could make this album myself, not as plagiarism or mimicry but as an original creative act,” he told daytrodder.com. “I wanted to write a song that already existed. An album of them, actually.” Joining him on stage at Soundlab is the absolutely awesome Jona Bechtolt/aka YACHT (pictured), who describes his music as “an amalgamation of self-taught dance moves and anthemic electro-power jams all played backwards and covered in cherry cola.” In the vein of solo dance pop experimentalists Girl Talk or Dan Deacon— who merge the roles of sound-alchemist, DJ and court jester onstage—YACHT’s music just might be the best soundtrack to the final dance moves of the summer. Opening the show is Brooklyn perfect pop band Vampire Weekend.

Monday, August 27 at 9pm. Soundlab, 110 Pearl St.
