=== Recent years (2003–present) === Project Pitchfork returned with album Kaskade in 2005. In February 2009 the band released ''Dream, Tiresias!'' which received praise from electronic music magazine, ReGen.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.regenmag.com/Reviews-1804-Project-Pitchfork-Dream-Tiresias.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090416045803/http://www.regenmag.com/Reviews-1804-Project-Pitchfork-Dream-Tiresias.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=2009-04-16|title=Review :: Project Pitchfork - Dream, Tiresias! |accessdate=2020-03-24}}</ref> In 2010 the band's follow up album ''Continuum Ride'' was released along with a video to support the song "Beholder."
