The release of Dirty Projectors' self-titled album last year came after a five-year hiatus and the departure of longtime singer Amber Coffman. The songs, which documented that departure, were heart-breaking, dark and cathartic. But frontman David Longstreth is already back with a follow-up, and a brighter one at that. Lamp Lit Prose (out July 13) suggests he's emerged with a newfound optimism, and on this week's show we've got the first single from it: "Break-Thru." Full playlist for this episode: 1. Dirty Projectors: "Break-Thru," 2. Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks: "Middle America," 3. Sofi Tukker: "Benadryl," 4. Shannon & The Clams: "Onion," 5. Valley Queen: "Supergiant," 6. Jessica Risker: "I See You Among The Stars," 7. Red Baraat: "Kala Mukhra"
