Dirty Projectors & Bjork- Mount Wittenberg Orca
:: December 2, 2011 :: by Kyle Zappia
Two worlds collide, as Dirty Projectors and Bjork come together to create a single album.
Back in 2009 th e two were asked to play a benefit concert at a bookstore in New York. The two hit it off, and agreed they wanted to collaborate together. While in San Francisco at Mount Wittenberg, Amber, from the Dirty Projectors, saw a family of whales swimming in the ocean together.
Amber wrote some songs on the experience and asked Bjork to sing the part as the mother whale, while Amber and Angel sing the role of the children whales. The two acts agreed to that the proceeds from the album would go to the Nation Geographic Society to help protect the oceans, which currently only 1% is protected.
