Bonus track is on the expanded reissue of Mount Wittenberg Orca, available on Record Store Day
Dirty Projectors and Björk’s 2010 EP Mount Wittenberg Orca will be reissued with bonus tracks as a Record Store Day exclusive double LP via Domino on Saturday.
The expanded set includes 13 previously unreleased bonus tracks. The newly added material comprises live recordings from a 2009 performance at the Manhattan bookstore Housing Works, early demos, and tracks from rehearsals. It also includes “On and Ever Onward” from their Housing Works set, which they shared on Tuesday.
“Mount Wittenberg Orca might be my favorite thing from this chapter of Dirty Projectors. It feels like sort of a dark horse in the catalog. Which I guess is kinda funny, considering it’s a collaborative record with Björk,” David Longstreth said in a statement. “We were overwhelmed with the hype around the band at the time and purposely under-messaged it. But I love these songs. And as a basically live-in-studio album, it’s the only official release that shows how this lineup really cooked as a band.”
“The performances and engineering hold up really well. And of course Björk elevates us to a different level of protean majesty,” he added. “I remember being spontaneously in tears during her vocal takes for ‘Sharing Orb.’ I’m also excited to share the original Housing Works show, in its raw beauty, as well as the writing tapes and rehearsals that show how the whole thing came together. Thanks for listening.”
