True artistes endeavour to create something new; something that pushes boundaries, tests limits, yet remains truthful and real.
Right. So where in this quest does one overstep the mark into pretense, affectation, or melodrama?
Since 2002, Dirty Projectors have been a highly influential part of the new, weird Brooklyn scene; straddling the theatrical, quasi-classical Grizzly Bear, the eastern soft rock of Yeasayer, the world music synth pop of Animal Collective, and the oddly-shaped sonic slabs TV On The Radio arrange.
Featuring lead Dave Longstreth's trademark twisting, churning croon (think Morrissey, Wild Beasts, or Antony), Bitte Orca is their first release available locally. It's their most solid and accessible album, and, as always, it's an album some people will find unlistenably pretentious, while others (like me) find it exciting and inventive.
Have a listen. Love it or hate it, you can't say it's not incredibly interesting!
