Dirty Projectors: Bitte Orca

Artist: Dirty Projectors
Album: Bitte Orca
Date Released: June 6, 2009
Genre: indie-rock, experimental rock
Rating: 8.5

Review: Their most accessible work to date, Bitte Orca retains the experimentalism of previous releases while showcasing the Dirty Projectors' talents for complex vocal arrangements, melodies and harmonies. Bitte Orca is absolutely exploding in ideas; take "The Bride," for example, which intertwines Beatlesque harmonies and Led Zeppelin-like acoustic guitars with a modern indie touch reminiscent of Grizzly Bear. Stick with this one: it's a complex and rewarding release.
