Dirty on Purpose
|

|
Brooklyn-based indie quintet, Dirty on Purpose, are four guys and a girl who craft dreamy indie-pop with lush walls-of-sound and occasional accents of distortion. Their debut EP, Sleep Late for a Better Tomorrow, has garnered much praise for its sweet blend of vocal harmonies with dynamic song structures. From Time Out NY: "The plucky, dreamy selections on the EP are driven by summery hooks and earthy sentimentalism, but live shows belie Dirty on Purpose's meek on-record sound. Onstage, the band launches into long, distortion-heavy sets full of grinding chords and fuzzy electronic touches, as if to remind the audience that it's the quiet ones you've got to keep an eye on."
