Formed by prolific songwriter David Longstreth, whose been releasing Projectors records with a rotating cast of contributors since the early 2000s, Bitte Orca finds Dirty Projectors placing their own angular but ornate, harmony-filled stamp on this thrilling set of songs that twist and turn through off-kilter rock, R&B and chamber music in ways that you could never imagine.

Contrary to the blog-driven success stories of so many of today's indie bands who are quick to explode and fizzle soon after, Dirty Projectors' rise has been steady and slow-building. Formed by prolific songwriter David Longstreth, whose been releasing Projectors records with a rotating cast of contributors since the early 2000s, the group's re-imagination of Black Flag's Rise Above two years ago was loved by fans and critics alike, setting the stage for their new album, which will no doubt be their breakthrough. With a core line-up now consisting of Amber Coffman, Brian Mcomber, Angel Deradoorian and, of course, Longstreth, Bitte Orca finds Dirty Projectors placing their own angular but ornate, harmony-filled stamp on this thrilling set of songs that twist and turn through off-kilter rock, R&B and chamber music in ways that you could never imagine.
