Written by Michael Chen: “I guess what I want to do, and what we want to do, is try to make music that feels good, and feels expressive—even as it does so in a new vocabulary.” And frontman Dave Longstreth does exactly that with The Dirty Projectors’ latest release Bitte Orca. Longstreth simultaneously creates intricate vocal patterns and complex orchestration within each track to create a musical personality that is unique yet distinctly recognizable. The tone of the album shifts with string quartets mixed with heavy synthesizer sounds and four different vocalists, including Longstreth himself. The juxtaposition of lo-fi elements and complex arrangements is reminiscent of the Flaming Lips and other experimental rock bands. Bitte Orca is innovative and familiar enough to please longtime fans and first time listeners. Click Read More for additional information and to listen to a track from Bitte Orca.
