I think “No Intentions” is also my favorite–so catchy, and I really like the guitars. The other two you’ve posted here are also amazing…I feel like I’ve been under a rock for not checking out Dirty Projectors sooner! I got to hear Nat Baldwin when he was in Tallahassee doing his solo stuff, and he blew my mind. Ok, so yeah, he’s got a quirky way of singing, but I dig it. I look forward to hearing more of Bitte Orca, so thanks for sharing.

No Intentions is my favorite so far. The material has been amazing.

I’m gonna have to say that “Two Doves” was my favorite due to my impartiality towards Amber and Angel, but “Wave the Bloody Shirt” definitely should have made the album – http://finickyfork.blogspot.com/2009/06/summer-solstice-is-move.html – it’s a bit more experimental than the rest of the album though. The pop perfectionism practiced by Dave is the heart of the album, all of the varied orchestral arrangements have a wonderful way of building on each other an culminating in an electrifying climax. For this reason, it bothers me when people compare Bitte Orca to MPP and Veckatimest because they are all so unique and intricate in their own respective ways that trying to quantify how good they are distracts from their real artistic merit.

I think they’re pretty good. Love the acoustic. “No Intentions” I liked best.

From what I’ve heard so far, it’s amazing! Making year-end lists is sure going to be difficult this year.

Wow. To be honest, I’d never even heard of these guys prior to this post, but they blew me away. I can’t stop listening to No Intention. I’m hooked – consider me a fan.
