Best New Music: Dirty Projectors - Bitte Orca
This is one of the critics darling albums for 2009. I give them credit for taking indie rock in a new direction and they have something potentially great, but I am not sure it will make my top 5 because it doesn't tie the newness into a complete album (IMHO). When they tie it all together, the potential is fantastic (see the song Stillness is the Move). They remind me of Animal Collective in the Sung Tongs/Feels era.
That said if you like seeing what is on the leading edge of new music, check this album out.
Highlights:
- Stillness is the Move
- No Intention
- Cannibal Resource
