Dirty Beaches has toured and released a number of albums and singles over the past five years. In 2010 he began to receive major press attention. Pitchfork listed his song "True Blue" among the year's best. Early in 2011 he released the album Badlands, his first widely released full-length, which has received reviews from major music sites, including a highly positive one in Pitchfork, who also interviewed the musician and listed him as a "rising" artist (whatever that means... but apparently it's a notable measure of hype for Pitchfork readers). He has performed at SXSW 2011, being noted as one of three highlights there by the Washington Post. He has played a Daytrotter Session. He is noted for a style of music consisting of sampling, critiquing and paying homage to 1950s pop records, rockabilly and punk, inspired by the film noir of David Lynch and Wong kar wai, as well as his family's immigrant experience and his own travels.

I don't have time to do the work today of making this page what it should be, with necessary references, but I was shocked the page didn't exist yet, and anyone who has followed the alternative music press lately will agree the artist is notable and overdue for a wiki treatment.
