Sometimes I loose my way, and I think we all do. We forget where we come from, we we're going and what things mean to us. I fell like I'm in a constant battle sometimes with remembering why I do the things I do. I listen to music so often and rely on it so heavily that I forget about the magic it can bring. But every once in a while, when I need it most, I hear something that makes me inspired to live. Many albums recently have made me feel this way, including the new Maps & Atlases album, and I hope many will continue to make me feel this way. Currently I just can't help but feel genuinely happy, when I hear the relentless harmonies and aahs radiating from the new Dirty Projectors & Bjork collaboration EP Mount Wittenberg Orca. It is a little weird, especially on first listen, but its the unique qualities that get stuck in my head and make me come back for more. "What was that?" followed by "I need to hear that again" has been my general response.
All this said, I think if you are just getting into the Projectors definitely start with Bitte Orca as its their most accessible. This along with Rise Above make for excellent second steps. All I can hope is that whether its from music, family, friends or another source, I can find the same type of joy and wonderment I get while listening to this EP.
