About

2009 was this really great Golden Period for indie rock, and there are so many records to celebrate from that year. Bitte Orca is sort of the moment where the Dirty Projectors became more than an art rock band. This guy from Yale, Dave Longstreth, had been making pretty weird records leading up to this; this album was the one where this band could suddenly play big theaters, they’re no longer playing lofts in Brooklyn. You actually said you were lookin’ for a song with some bop in it, earlier… “Stillness is the Move” is the boppiest Dirty Projectors record ever. - Vinyl Me, Please
