The Dirty Projectors + Bjork: Mount Wittenberg Orca

So I’m at a wedding last weekend and talking to a friend and she’s talking about this once-in-a-lifetime show she saw after The Dirty Projectors and Bjork expressed some sorta mutual admiration. So Longstreth wrote seven songs specifically as a collaboration between her and them and they played said songs in a library charity show thing in new york and that was that. My friend, Missy, mentioned that they’d promised a release, but it had been months and months and no news.

Three days later, they announce they’re releasing a CD. Which I got. And it’s pretty amazing. Mostly vocal, with very sparse instrumentation. Some almost sound like exercises in vocal composition, but I sorta dig it for that. Definitely worth checking out. You know where to look.

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
