...according to our Business Lady on 03 June 2009.

Brooklyn seems to be an eternal hotspot for quality bands and ambitious releases, this most certainly applies to Dirty Projectors whose new L.P 'Bitter orca' is chocker with confidence and crazy ideas. At first it makes me think of YES due to the sweet dynamics and wild vocal arrangements. To an extent it sounds like Led Zeppelin but no-one in the office agrees with me so i'll justify that comment with more talk....check out the drums, pure Bonham both in approach and sound....also observe the beautifully clear acoustic guitars, pure Led Zep yo! I'm also hearing some slide guitar circa Led Zep III. Dirty Projectors have also taken the time to absorb a little of the afro-beat groove that has become a staple of hip New York bands, this suits me just fine and is done tastefully with respect and appreciation. Ok, so there are plenty of reference points but 'Bitter Ocra' is genuinely ambitious in scope and comes of sounding original and unique. There is more going on here than i can keep track of so please take the time to check out the sound clips for this one. Really good stuff! Also, note the Indies' only (that's us kids) 2CD set that includes the five track E.P 'Still is the move' that features a sweet Lucky Dragon's remix of the title track. Double note, also to be made available on a limited tape format (again, for Indies' only) with a free download code for those of you without a trusty tape player. Definitely recommended!

What their label says...

“At first, I listen to this record hunting for a theme. I hear big riffs that make me
think of classic rock, so I think, “Is this Led Zeppelin deconstructed?” I hear folk
guitar picking and gorgeous strings, so I think, “Is this 60’s folk-pop re-imagined?”
But, as is usually the case, my lame attempts at categorization fade away and soon
all I can hear is Dirty Projectors. Ultimately, I don’t hear Brian’s brutally excellent
drumming or Dave and Amber’s riffs as “classic rock” signifiers.  “Temecula Sunrise”
is not the sound of Dad cracking open a brew in ’75. It’s not Physical Graffiti for 2K9;
it’s 2K9’s Physical Graffiti. You feel me?” – Ezra, Vampire Weekend.
• The album comes with beautiful artwork and there will be a strictly limited edition
of 1000 2CD sets for the indies only, including a bonus disk of the ‘Stillness is
the Move’ 12” material.
• Following the Animal Collective’s fantastic start to the year, there is great
feeling that Brooklyn’s Dirty Projectors could also have the same
crossover appeal.
• Vampire Weekend, David Byrne and Bjork are all raving about the record.
