The new Dirty Projectors album Bitte Orca has been getting breathlessly positive reviews all over the place (including from this here organ) and not without good reason. It’s a grower (i.e. it’s a bit irritating on first listen) but stick with it and you’ll be rewarded with one of the best art-rock albums of the year. The single ‘Stillness Is The Move’ is unequivocally fantastic. For a start, it doesn’t feature the divisive vocals of lead singer Dave Longstreth – instead, the alternately soft and swooping tones of Angel Deradoorian take control of a track that cribs as much from modern R&B as it does from the indie-rock idiom. Single of the year? It has to be up there. Enjoy.
