Dirty Projectors and Bjork- Mount Wittenberg Orca ALBUM REVIEW

Listen: http://theneedledrop.com/?p=313

This is a helluva collaboration right here. Hearing Bjork's vocals intertwined with that of Dirty Projectors makes me wonder why this didn't happen sooner. The fragile instrumentation on this mini-album doesn't live up to the high-end production on Bitte Orca, but it doesn't need to. The vocals are absolutely stunning--even if they aren't dressed up. The melodies and harmonies are absolutely gorgeous, and the time constraints put on Longstreth in the writing of this album has led to a batch of tracks that are surprisingly immediate. For those who have taken the 'Projectors as a difficult band may want to give this a listen.

It's a great collab, but who knows if its time will be kind to it. It might translate best to hardcore fans of these two musical acts, but that doesn't mean it's not of a high caliber.

8/10

I really love some of the things you point out in this review. You touch on some of the things I love so much about it, like when you mention that it sounds like such an authentic collaboration and that it almost seems like they are performing just for you.

I fucking love this CD!!!!! One of the best CDs I've purchased this year; I got this today and Biophilia last week and I love Bjork but I hate to say this, the latter is not as good as the first.

LP means "long play". the reason an EP is called "extended play" is because it's an extension of a single.

[brencerta]

If EPs are "extended plays" then why are LPs longer?
