Cover Notes: Expanded edition of the long out of print 'Mount Wittenberg Orca' LP, Dirty Projectors' critically acclaimed collaborative album with Icelandic legend Björk. The original seven-song collection was written to be performed unamplified in a small Manhattan bookstore called Housing Works inspired by a conversation between Dirty Projectors band leader David Longstreth and Björk about the small theatres in Italy where opera was born in the 1500's. The result feels like part children's story, part choral music from some strange future. It's unlike anything else in the Projectors' body of work: drums and guitars are all but absent. It's all about voices here - and the voices are astonishing. Björk sounds seismic and elemental and Longstreth, sharing lead vocal duties, intones with his trademark croon. The Projectors' singers Amber Coffman, Angel Deradoorian and Haley Dekle add magical three-part vocal harmonies. This 2LP expanded edition adds 13 bonus tracks of never-before-released material including the live Housing Works performance from 2009, early demos of Mount Wittenberg Orca and archival audio of the band and Björk rehearsing the material.

Extras: Dark green coloured vinyl.
