Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca (Expanded Edition)
Put quite simply: if you don’t think Bitte Orca was the finest album of 2009 and one of the best of the last decade then I want you to unsubscribe from whatever medium you’re using to get your HotSpotMusic fix right now. Wait, okay, come back. I’ll give you another chance. Listen to this expanded edition in a quiet place - put your headphones on and just listen to it. Because it deserves more than to be background music. The expanded edition of Bitte Orca, released last week, includes 5 live versions from the original set, a couple of unreleased tracks and a solitary remix. Ascending Melody, as just one example, is a beautifully constructed song that could quite easily fit onto the original album. Once again amazing.
