Bitte Orca

Dirty Projectors

A high-concept intersection of R&B melodies, jagged math-rock guitars, and intricate vocal hocketing. Academic precision meets pure, shimmering pop joy.

June 8, 2009 · Domino

A bright, intellectually stimulating celebration of vocal harmony and rhythmic complexity.

Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift into a heavy, distorted guitar breakdown halfway through Useful Chamber.
The interlocking vocal acrobatics on Remade Horizon where three voices become one instrument.
The moment the smooth R&B beat of Stillness Is the Move meets a jagged, African-inspired guitar lick.
