Listening to Dirty Projectors usually requires your undivided attention to plumb the depths of Dave Longstreth's labyrinthine musical mind.

In the group's latest album, it feels as if Longstreth has emerged from his cerebral musical world to take stock of the simpler things, and found them worth setting to music as well. The result is a sun-drenched tracklist which manages to retain the unexpected rhythms and [...]

They have outdone themselves this time (particularly the interplay between Angel and Amber) and Bitte Orca is set to be one of the most impressive albums of 2009. To call it more accessible would be misguided; accessibility doesn't factor into Longstreth's musical [...]
