Bitte Orca is Dirty Projectors’ Domino debut, and the follow-up to 2007's critically acclaimed Rise Above. Their fifth release is a big rock album by design. It's idiosyncratic and sincere take on popular music is reminiscent of David Byrne with whom Dirty Projectors collaborated on "Knotty Pine" for the 2009 compilation "Dark Was the Night". in many ways, group leader David Longstreth could be seen as this generation's answer to Byrne, a distinctive torchbearer of labyrinthine song arrangements that go down easy. Vinyl pressing. Released 6/9/09 on Domino Recording Co.
