Bitte Orca, the Dirty Projectors' soon-to-be-released new album is now streaming from NPR. Last week, we may have stated that the Album of the Year race has two horses: Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion and Grizzly Bear's Veckatimest. We may also be dumb, as Bitte Orca is bound to garner the same kind of critical praise as both those albums. It's probably more on the Animal Collective side in terms of accessibility (or rather, inaccessibility), but the vocal harmonies and complex rhythms/time signatures definitely make this album an interesting listen, if nothing else. Whatever you think of the album as a whole, "Stillness Is The Move" is bomb. Respect.
