The Graceful Fallen Mango is the first album by experimental rock band Dirty Projectors. It was released under head Projector Dave Longstreth’s name, though.
The album is a collection of tunes recorded in Longstreth’s bedroom on a 4-track machine and in his brother’s basement on a computer. Dave Longstreth plays everything on the album save for some back-up vocals on two tracks, which were sung by his brother Jake and a person only identified as Steve in the liner notes.
Musically, the songs range from straightforward acoustic tunes, to hard rock songs, to experimental instrumentals. A small discrepancy of the title of the album exists, since it is written the graceful-fallen mango on one side of the CD’s spine and THE GRACEFUL FALLEN MANGO on the other side. Despite this, Western Vinyl shows the title as the latter, following normal rules of capitalization.
