okie, so we like this album, the latest installment from the dirty projectors. "bitte orca" named randomly it seems (bitte is the german word for "please" and orcas are killah whales, go figure, we didn't). this nine track release is album number ("nine") 9 for this new york outfit. the whole album works for us, really works. its really difficult to pin down what genre this is.
in an interview on pitchfork, ed drotse (grizzly bear) said the following:
"Someone was asking me about what I was listening to and I was saying "Oh, Dirty Projectors, I love the new album," and they were like, "Well what kind of music is it?" and I just stopped dead in my tracks and literally didn't know how to describe it.
At first I was embarrassed because I didn't know how to describe it, but then I was like, this is what's so amazing about a lot of music now. There are so many different things and there's so much going on and Bitte Orca is so distinctly Dirty Projectors that I didn't even know how to begin to describe what genre it is, you know? What would one categorize it as? So I find it hard lately to label things as indie or pop or folk or give it some sort of categorization."
we also find it difficult to adequately catergorise this outfit, they defy all forms of known nomencleture. but that's not necessarily a bad thing. our track, if you were to push us (hard) for a favourite is "fluoroscent half domes" and maybe maybe "two doves" coming in at a close second. we'll give a further write up on thsese songs shortly.
