Orca of the Day.

Accompanied by a revolving door of cast members since 2002, The Dirty Projectors is a Brooklyn based experimental indie pop collective fronted by Dave Longstreth . Their first album on Domino Records ~ Bitte Orca ~ was released on June 9th, 2009.

Here's the single Stillness is the Move:



In 2008, they collaborated with David Byrne as part of the compilation Dark was the Night.

In 2009, members of Dirty Projectors collaborated with Bjork to perform an original composition by Longstreth; written for five voices and acoustic guitar, it was part of a charity concert to benefit Housing Works.
