Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca

Two Doves was actually my favorite track of the album, but overall I loved all of it. Admittedly there are parts of songs that for me, don't quite work, but as a whole it's definitely up there. And I do keep finding myself coming back to this album.

Oh really? Aww, I had hoped it would be on of the better liked songs on the album. My other favorites are probably Useful Chamber and Cannibal Resource.

I think Two Doves sounds like a rip off (unless it was intentional or something) of the Nico sung "These Days" but with even more obnoxious vocals and string section.

Two Doves is my favorite too. It reminds me alot of "She's Leaving Home" from the Beatles. Excellent strings in it.

One of my friends was mentioning how "Stillness Is The Move" simultaneously sounds like it could easily be a pop radio hit, and something that would never reach the ears of more than a handful of fans. An interesting note on this album, which is equal parts pop and experimental.

Probs be in my top 5 for the year fer sure.

I hear allot of people calling out bands for lack of originality, but when they come across original bands they kinda throw them out the back door because they're "strange". For the most part, originality means that it's something you've never seen/heard before--in that sense it has to be strange or "expirimental". --unfortunately, those who market themselves as indie normally end up being the most unoriginal.

Bitte Orca was a pretty good album. It's original to a good extent, and mixes a few good ideas with a few tried ones. I'm not overly thrilled, but I'm moderately satisfied with their efforts.

peace out,

i thought this album was fantastic. interesting, unique art rock that brings a lot to the table both instrumentally and vocally. top 3 of the year so far.

Didn't download it because I thought the video for "Stillness is the Move" was racist or something. I forget.
Two songs in and I'm so glad I did. The vocals are pure joy.
