Dirty Projectors is the seventh studio album by American experimental rock group Dirty Projectors, which was released on Domino Records on February 21, 2017.

The album deals with themes of break-up, depression, and reconciliation, following the breakup of Longstreth and Coffman and the ensuing 4-year hiatus in the band's activities. It makes use of more DAW-inspired techniques than the previous 3 albums, similar to their 4th album glitch opera The Getty Address, this time including wholly synthesised sounds in a clear stylistic departure from earlier recordings, Longstreth having previously stated 'I don't like synthesisers'.[1]
