Release Notes:
While a completely different species, musically speaking, than Animal
Collective's monolithic Merriweather Post Pavilion, the Dirty
Projectors's Bitte Orca is every bit that album's equal in terms of
navigating uncharted sonic territory. Virtuosic but playful
unpredictable yet accessible, it's not a genre album, encapsulating too
many ideas to be filed conveniently under an "indie" or "experimental"
tag. Bitte Orca is a careening, three-way balancing act between the
finger-picked experimentation of the Books, the math rock of Battles
and Of Montreal's gallivanting pop. If that sounds a bit scattershot in
theory, the band smelts its influences into a nearly unrecognizable
alloy, one that gleams with a newness that is realized in that
ever-so-slender window of opportunity where each member of a band is
firing on all cylinders
The sound that bandleader Dave Longstreth has created on Bitte Orca is
one of a chugging, smoke-huffing machine. Songs like "Temecula Sunrise"
and "Useful Chamber" jerk and cough like so many churning cogs
occasionally driving their tempos up or down unexpectedly. One of the
few exceptions to this nearly uniform musical theme is "Stillness Is
the Move": The organic odd-man-out, it's a candy-coated pop song that
might be what Mariah Carey would sound like accompanying a snake
charmer's flute; the exotic loop that opens the song is hypnotizing
and band members Angel Deradoorian and Amber Coffman coo like pop
princesses lost in a New Delhi marketplace. "Remade Horizon" opens with
a summery folk trot before a synth dart tears through the acoustic
guitars, making way for an emerging, corkscrew prog riff. Finally, the
song culminates in a staggering vocal hocket courtesy of Deradoorian
The Dirty Projectors have always possessed the qualities needed to make
a great album, but until now, the band has never demonstrated those
traits all at once. There have been moments of expert musicianship and
melodic genius sprinkled throughout their career (2007's Rise Above, a
reimagining of Black Flag's Damaged, foreshadowed some of the band's
bravery, even if it was a bit misguided), but they never found a strong
enough songwriting foundation. They've done it here, and Bitte Orca is
close to a masterpiece.
