Bitte Orca

Have to say this is like a breath of fresh air. Bright, inventive, new, exploratory, I'm all in. When it decides to, it just rips.

Without being insulting, this is interesting. Not so much Whale please - more like I hit a bit of a Narwhal, couldn’t see the porpoise and long term it’s Dolphin, no thank you.

This one takes a few listens to get, but once you get it, it's somethin'. I love how chaotic it is, but there are just enough melodic snippets and interesting ideas to keep you centered. These guys remind me a bit of a demented Fleetwood Mac. This is probably more of a 4.5 but I'm rounding up to offset some of the hate this is getting from others.

I heard of this band but never actually heard them until this listen. The nonsensical album title confused me. Then I read that the lead singer liked how the words sounded together. I thought of that on both of my listens to this album and realized I really liked how they were stringing the sounds and together. I liked it a lot!

Vocals ruined this for me, which is sad because I liked some of the guitar work a lot.

Quirky w its own style, some glimmers of interesting composition, but overall a bit too precious for its own good

I honestly barely remember that I listened to this album. I'm sure it was fine otherwise I'd probably remember it more, but clearly not interesting enough that it made a impression Standouts - 3/5

Simultaneously uneven and repetitive, but I didn't hate it. I like the vibes if not the song writing.

Listen, I get trying to make something artsy and fun. But by the second song, with his sarcastic(?) yeahs I really just wanted to throw the singer out with the garbage. I like ideas on this but the execution is so poor.

It's just so meh. Pointless album from a pointless band (in 1001 terms)

Bueno

I'm always embarrassed that i kinda like everything at urban outfitter

Dość ciekawe, ale w sumie mocno w stylu indie zespołów tamtych lat. Zestarzało się równie dobrze jak tatuaże wąsa na palcu. 6/10.

now this is just annoying

I should have died before hearing this album... fuck Sorry, I thought I should be 100% honest :-(

Lets record the sounds of a broken washing machine and call it music. Where are some of these dopey LPs' coming from??? This is really something we absolutely had hear on a list of 1001?

Pretty good stuff for a an old guy like me.

Not nearly as bad as people here are making it out to be. But also not nearly as good as people are trying to make it sound. It IS in fact elitest hipster art pop. At a time when this music was celebrated. Yet this one remained some obscurity. I don't like that much of the layering and panning sounds like someone's first time producing an album. But also do not like how the contents of the songs sound almost improvised. I wish I could appreciate and understand what's going on here. My zany music comes from Animal Collective, Postal Service, Arcade Fire and other genremates who also had releases in this era.

Pretty pretentious, feels like this album thinks it’s better than it is

Not in my edition of the book! 2009. 2.5 stars. Inoffensive US alt-rock with one or two half decent tunes. Ok but not memorable in any way. Not sure why this is on the list?

the hell

That journey was great and full of many adventures. Listened to twice in a row.

far too indie for me. too creative or something like that

One of the most unique albums I’ve ever heard

Cada dia me arrepiento más de hacer esto

I’m afraid ultimately the music is too kooky for me.

From reading the reviews and description, I was convinced I was going to like this. On first listen, I didn't. The second listen was much better, but I'm not sure it'll become a favourite. It's ok

I feel like this group just wants to be weird for weird's sake. Like...it's not bad but also not good? There's nothing wrong with using complex time signatures, or uncommon chord sequences and stuff like that. But I don't know...it's just bizarre in an irritating way. At least it's much more interesting than another of the many 60/70s classic rock bands on this list.

I am much more interested in the female vocalists than Dave Longstreth's stuff here. The strings are cool. "Stillness is the Move" is undoubtedly a fantastic song. I find myself humming that chorus a lot (thanks NBA 2K13 for introducing me to that one). The production really cranks up the space in between the instruments and the vocals which makes it feel somewhat tense and intimate. Liked it, did not love it.

Super random, no entiendo la vibra, no le suena armónico

So I put this on and my immediate reaction was "Oh, fuck off." But then I guess my brain recalibrated to the weird syncopated rhythms and off kilter harmonies, because then the album was almost over and I kind of forgot I was listening to it. Which I guess is not exactly a ringing endorsement. So yeah, annoying at first, then it turned kinda bland once I got used to it. But then I paid attention it again and came full circle. So, "oh, fuck off."

Ņeh. Mūzikā ir kripata kaut kā interesanta, bet vokāli ir atbaidoši. Fui pē.

сама битте орка заводная, напомнила ту песню где в конце кричат Мэээтт альбом разный, это интересно. но в целом не завлёк

Another album of ok music where I got bored half way through and stopped paying attention.

A 2 - as Ian Smith would say - by the barest of margins. Those first 3 songs were absolutely atrocious. It got better with Stillness Is The Move - being the best song on the album - and the one after that was OK. If that bloke never sang again the world would be a better place for it.

Petty bad

2 tracks in and I don't know where I stand with this album... his voice is decent enough and compliments the haphazard instrumentals. It's possibly these that are the issue; the instruments change course so often that there is nothing to hold on to. It's experimental at best and just a total mess at worst. I appreciate when a band tries to do something like this, to push the norms of musical structure that we've come to create, though really, it's rare that it's ever pulled off. Some songs get close, like "The Bride" and "Stillness is the Move", but others like "Temecula Sunrise" are just a frustrating jumble. Then there's "Two Doves", which was incredible, following a more traditional musical flow and with Deradoorian's absolutely gorgeous voice cradling the guitar riffs. "Useful Chamber" was something else too... with it's twin female vocal harmonies rising and falling in unison. This is where Dirty Projectors experimenting has paid off. It was saddling a 2 for the first half, but these two songs alone bring it to the 3.

If the intention was to create something excruciatingly painful to listen to then well done guys, you did it!

No tempo, rhythm or melody. An odd choice as there must be so many better albums of the genre. Only really liked one song.

536 albums in, and I was looking forward to something I had no idea about, but I was not prepared for this. It feels like the musical equivalent of Donald Trump speaking; it just has no structure, coherence or rhythm, is mostly offensive to the ear and you just want it to end as quickly as possible. I think this might be the worst album (or at least in the Top 3) we’ve had so far, and it’s had some proper competition.

Unnecessary.

It felt like a droning 41 minutes of the worst indie rock cliches ever. Most bearable of the bunch: "No Intention" I don't anticipate revisiting this album in the future.

Favorite Track: Temecula Sunrise

A lot of music packed into each song.

i'm so sorry i don't mean to come off as disrespectful but this album is just... a trainwreck. that's the best way i can think to describe this listening experience, genuinely. peace and love. not giving a 1 star rating only because it did not physically pain me to listen.

Really had to force myself

This was a pretty interesting listen. I was pretty disteactwd with personal issues while listening to it, but I did enjoy what I was hearing.

Not all bad but a lot of this just feels quirky for quirky's sake. It strikes me as a record that would probably grow on you after more listens but sadly I don't really have the desire to do that right now.

So fun!

Fine nothing special

Pretty and strange, but not memorable. Gotta relisten at some point.

There were a couple tracks where temu Mariah carey was on point that I didn't hate but overall a struggle. Is this like Trout Mask Replica where I have to listen 7.3 times before it clicks and I think it is the greatest album ever?

4.5

This was better in college

Songs are ambitious and interesting, but I can’t say I plan to listen again.

Not really what I was hoping for.

Kept having to pause to make sure I wasn't accidentally playing audio in another tab as well

Not good.

Some beautiful noises and novelties sprinkled throughout. Fundamentally though this is still a collection of dull pop songs over unsatisfyingly complex compositions

Hipster Indie pop, had moments I liked but mostly just can't get into it. I'm sure I would like this more seeing live on stage, but as an album on its own, really not my thing.

Reminder that I hate experimental music If I had a couple good things to say about this album, it’s the fact that it’s over quick and every once in a while there’ll be a cool 30 second stretch where it sounds decent enough I really really wish the dude didn’t sing with that falsetto the whole album (the woman’s got a much better voice, listenable at least). The inability for them to stay on rhythm infuriates me so much, I’m sure they’re talented enough but it sounds awful. Most of the base lines/drums sounded like they were generated by AI where none of the notes make any sense. Vocals are definitely the bigger problem though Probably a bit closer to a 1.5. I’m feeling spiteful today and I thoroughly disliked this one

Synths + classic orcestra is my weakness sounds quite modern and had some lovely sounds in there; unfortunately it's just slightly *too* ambient. A little extra energy would have gone a long way, but that's entirely my personal preference

Simply ok. Not particularly impressed, doubt I'll come back to this album or this group in the future.

I like this album, I can't really explain why, but it just makes me feel good to listen to it.

I wanted to like this album. I really did. And while I can acknowledge its immense creativity and interesting musical choices, I honestly didn’t really enjoy it. I get its experimental. But I feel like sometimes “experimental” is code for “hipster experimental music the artists think is really clever and makes them look smart.” The song titles don’t help with that. “Cannibal Resource”? “Useful Chamber”? “Fluorescent Half Dome”? What do these mean? And that’s what this felt like to me. I hate to reduce an album to that. But I just couldn’t really jive with this album. There’s things to like, but I just didn’t get it overall. I don’t really know what else more I can say. It felt like Vampire Weekend’s first album if that album took like, a step further and discarded some of the common conventions of song structure and rhythm. I will not be relistening and I will not seek more of them out. Not bad by any means, but not worth the listen . 3 stars. Did I need to hear this before I die? I could live without it.

Колись давно пробуав слухати саме цей альбом. Пічфорк їх любив, але тоді він мені здався трохи занадто вичурним. Зараз мені він здається трошки сумбурним. І це як його фішка, так і недолік в окремих піснях. Мені скоріше не подобається чоловічий вокал - дуже специфічна подача. З жіночим навпаки, дуже сподобався. Воно все таке ще трохи з арті-вайбом чи прімавера-вайбом. Трохи змішані враження, але щось точно в цій музиці є.

Є певні цікаві елементи, але загалом мені якось не сподобалось.

A little confused on the hate for this one, I thought this was pretty good. I like the production even if it can sound out of sync at times, though also wondering why there are both one male singer or two female ones

with all the multiple time changes per song, it has a very jerky feeling to it. no flow. once you start liking the song, BANG!, here come the time changes. it's safe to say i will never listen to this album again. silence and alone in my thoughts might be a better choice.

Wow I REALLY enjoyed this!!! The vocal harmonies were awesome and very unique. Sounded very 60s influenced. I liked the sound of the drums and the simplicity of the drums, bass, and guitar, and the space they left in the music. Each song kept me entertained.

Ok to listen for exposure to it but something i am a fan of.

Temecula sunrise Stillness is the move

A bit all over the place. Lots of different influences....one had a Jeff Buckley feel, another a Nico feel, etc.

They were talented, sure, but I did not find that distinguishing factor that earned this album its spot on the list. It seemed quite similar to the other navel-gazing indie acts of that time.

Weird discordant sounds with really odd lyrics. It doesn't go together, and I think that was probably the point. But, I don't get it. This has the feel of a group that is targeted towards musicians that more casual listeners like me just don't get. Frankly it was really pretentious.

i tried. i really fucking tried. but this is too myspace indie core for me. you know the type,, 2010s hipsters with thrift store cardigans and fixed gear bikes. The vocalist and the backing vocals are straight bad. like, lord, they must be nepobabies because there's no way a label listened to this and thought "yes, let's burn studio hours on this." It's the kind of album where you can feel them trying to be genius and clever, but it just lands as annoying. the harmonies don't harmonize, the rhythms jerk around like a nervous tic, and not once did i feel any emotional honesty. Just save your ears. this ain't it. This reminds me why i dislike bjork and her so called avant-garde weirdness, because of people like this, that kind of noise gets normalized. just imagine the type of pretentious people who hear this and pretend to find it good.

Much better than expected. 3

Experimental music.

The first songs of this album powered my 2009

Idk Not much here for me

Album #1,066 I appreciate the effort of wanting to sound different. They accomplished that for sure. Does it always work out? Definitely not, sometimes coming off as Shaggs-inspired with the ever-changing time signatures and the band playing out of time with each other. I thought one song was decent, was Stillness Is the Move, which may also be the most normal sounding one. Useful Chamber is awful (I think I heard the dreaded auto-tune in this one), as is Remade Horizon. Most of it just didn't work for me. The female singers sounded good. The male singer sounded like he wanted to be John Lennon pretty badly.

Very different with some really good guitar in here. I liked the unconventional effects used. The songwriting is creative. The album is ahead of it's time, that's for sure, but it's not for me. I didn’t find the songs that interesting. So while I can appreciate the creative decisions, I didn’t really enjoy them. No favorite track off of this one.

A formative indie record for me. While i almost prefer some of the weirder later releases, the crazy angular playing, good harmonies and abstract song concepts made this record a must listen for indie rock/folk rock/chamber pop blends. The only "issue" I think I have with it is sometimes the songs feel more like intellectual exercises in pushing weird time signatures/playing and chord blending like direct from the heart songs. That's not really a complaint because to me, it's almost like an alien folk rock album in that way. A little impenetrable but still capturing magic.

Odd but ultimately i enjoyed it! The beat felt a bit strange and there were definitely some weird stuff going but i feel like they pulled it off for me in the end. Saved one song

This album is from the New York indie rock group Dirty Projectors. The sound is somewhat unique. I enjoyed the harmonies and the orchestral accompaniment, but I didn’t care for the music. Overall 2.5 out of 5 stars.

Never heard of this. Let's head to Wiki for some essential context: <<The word "bitte" is a German word for "please", and "orca" is another name for a killer whale.>> Oh, word? Now I get it. So from the era & album cover I was hoping this would be some HAIM-ish indie girl pop. But alas! The main singer is a guy! (who sounds a little like the Mars Volta guy.) It is indie pop, though; sort of Arcade Fire-y. It's fine, but nothing struck me. Maybe I should have given that last Kinks album a 4 after all... Highlight: 'Stillness Is the Move' (girl singer! or impressive falsetto)

I'm just pasting my notes in as I wrote them down during my listen. For such a weird album, I feel like not organizing or cleaning up this review is what Dirty Projectors would have wanted: This is a weird discordant album. Bitte Orca is a dumb name that doesn't mean anything and I irrationally hate it even though lots of bands do it. I can't help it. "Temecula Sunrise" is just chaos, and not necessarily in a good way. "Everyone do your own thing!" doesn't work for a reason. This theme persists throughout the album but to a lesser degree. The male singer started to piss me off pretty quickly. But a lot of the lyrics are at least interesting. Harmonies are nice but off-putting sometimes. Seems like a band trying to do too much, or cram too much into each song. Could stand to tone it back a little. It's at least unique, I'll give them that. There's something to be said about at least standing out in a sea of the same old shit. Standout tracks were "Temecula Sunrise" - it kinda bothered me so much that I keep thinking about it, so it definitely stood out. Dammit they got me.... and "No Intention" - really liked that little guitar theme throughout the song. I dont know quite how to rate this, but it's got me thinking. It's an interesting listen, but one I'd probably not do again. Enough on the album kinda bothered me that it's probably a 2 out of 5, maybe a 2.5.

hey that was pretty cool - interesting and unique sound - reminds me a bit of Vampire Wknd

Bitte Orca conjures up images of fairies deep in the forest engaged in a drum circle in the wee hours of the night. Each sound is a bit otherworldly, being played more like a medium letting spirits through it than a band. Whirling, dancing, fits of movement.

The banda biggest reach and most experimental is also - strangely - it's most listenable. There is a neverending stream of doors to open. The otherworldly harmonies are the stand out but the instrumentation is full of more surprises than Alice getting lost in a fun house. The fact that it even works at all is a tribute to the craft that underpins the art. And this is art - capital A R T.

Too off-the-wall for me. Wouldn't listen again

Todd Rundgrenesque (I don't get it)

These guys really had their moment, didn't they? Dirty Projectors were widely admired by music industry people and other well known bands. They collaborated with the likes of David Byrne and Bjork around this time. They were critical darlings and had a respectable following. In some ways I can kind of see it. They sounded very different and hard to classify, which can be pretty exciting. But for many people, this will just come off sounding pretentious. The kind of thing that the Williamsburg hipsters would have laughed at other people for not "getting". It's music for people for feel like Animal Collective are too mainstream. I think the truth is a little bit of both. I'm ok with weird for weird's sake. It can be fun and it can influence other artists. It's like people creating new paint colors a few centuries ago. It's not high art in itself but it creates the tools for the other artists. I like some parts of this album, but probably not enough to spend much time with it.

Subtle. Wonky. Purdy.

This is an indie pop album that is really neither indie or pop. It’s hugely ambitious and whilst there is an indie guitar aesthetic at the heart of it it throws in jazz, African polyrhythms and complex vocal arrangements. As a result it’s not songs the milkman can whistle but it is engaging and exciting

so remarkably 2009

# Album Name: Bitte Orca # Artist: Dirty Projectors # Rating: 1/5 # Comments: Absolute convoluted wank. Rubbish # Top Tunes: None # Would I listen to it again? No

This was an album I liked more when it came out and has a couple great tracks but the vocals are too grating to me now to want to relisten.

pretty good indie album

Definitely was ok. Nothing groundbreaking, but it was alright.

Took some adjustment to get my head in this space. I loved some, liked some and some just didn't hit for me. Two Doves was lovely. Averaged as a 3 with wide dispersion.

Weird and discordant, painful but there is beauty to it. Sometimes reminded me of Björk. Might be worth a second listen. Not sure if I like the mixing and mastering, sounds like everything is compressed and doesn't have much space to breathe

As a kid growing up in the late 2000s and 2010’s I would be lying If I said I wouldn’t have eaten this up as a child obsessed with indie, but idk I didn’t love it if I’m completely honest. It’s definitely from its time.

Cohesive album. Joyful

The songs are mostly bland and whatever. Good background music. Best song: Stillness Is The Move

Just enough shades of Fleet Foxes to keep me engaged

This band apparently never heard that less is more. Too much going on. Some good sounds and songs with possibilities that just get buried in competing sounds and rhythms. Is this what schizophrenia feels like?

Horrible noise.

i feel like i should like it more but it's kinda eh. like i guess they tried to do a bunch of different styles but none of them really work fav song: Temecula Sunrise

Переслушать

Exzellent. Erinnert manchmal an Phasen von Björk

Unas de cal y unas de arena. Vibra tipo Foals o LCD Soundsystem, pero ya pasados de efusividad. Escuchable en una caminada tranqui de domingo

My first thought upon listening to Dirty Projectors' Bitte Orca was that it was a 2010's hipster/alt-pop time capsule, and, lo and behold, it came out in 2009, so towards the beginning of that era. My second thought was that they "have to be from New York" (correct again; Brooklyn). There are so many sounds here are endemic of that specific time and place. Having never listened to them before, I didn't mind them. The Dirty Projectors' sound made me feel kind of nostalgic, and are pretty good, but I honestly don't know how often I'd return to this. Still enjoyable though!

This is some seriously pretentious self indulgent bullshit. Let's just switch things up every 10 seconds with some talking and wailing thrown in. The really bad part is that I would hear something that sounded good which would immediately switch to something that clashed with it. It definitely sounds like they can actually play the instruments and this crap was a conscious choice. Not a one of them can sing though.

Towards the end of the first decade of the 2000s, there was some amazing music on the go. Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Caribou, Deerhunter, Panda Bear, tUnE yArDs, Atlas Sound and Dirty Projectors were all making unique, interesting music that was also seriously easy and enjoyable to listen to. "Cannibal Resource" kicks things off on this album, and it's one of my all-time favorite songs. It's so weird. But I mean that in the best way possible. A heavily phased guitar sweeps in, while a sporadic bass line interrupts. That first section when the fuzz-toned guitar plays against the fantastic big beat is seriously class. I still get excited when it kicks in. David Longstreth sings the main vocal melody punctuated by ay-oh uh-woah ay-ohs from the rest of the band. It's not like anything I'd heard before. You can say the same for the rest of the album too. Structure is out the window. Guitar work is unique, often syncopated, and almost Africano sounding. Amber Coffman and Angel Deradoorian's swirling vocal harmonies work asynchronously to each other, flying all over the place. But it all somehow combines perfectly into some weird textured melody that works so well. Besides the opening track, other standout tracks are the catchy-as-hell "Stillness Is The Move", the West African vibes of "No Intention", the vocal gymnastics of "Remade Horizon", and the absolutely gorgeous Nico-esque "Two Doves". No song is the same as the last, and you're genuinely left wondering what to expect next from each track on this fantastic album. Ed Droste from Grizzly Bear said it best about trying to describe Dirty Projectors to someone who hadn't heard them. I've been in exactly the same situation. You tell someone that they have to check out this band you're listening to, and they ask you what type of music it is. It seems like such a simple question, but you can't answer. I mean, how do you describe the music on Bitte Orca? It's something that sits outside standard genres. The end of the first decade of the 2000s. What an amazing time for interesting music that can't be described properly. 4.5 stars.

Pompous and uninspired, didn't get anything from this. 1

Bjork-esque in lyrical oddness. Good background music but equally funky. Some good tunes but incoherent

I love how everything about Dirty Projectors reeks with ambition. From the ambiguous cover art to the nonsensical title. Being a little familiar with Dirty Projectors, but not a whole lot, I kind of knew what to expect, yet I was bemused by how close I was with the 'pretentious ambition' cliché. There are spindly guitars, the tempos shift, and everything sounds unsteady, as if it was deliberately artsy. Usually, I would enjoy this more. I'm vibing with Everything Everything, an equally ambitious indie band -- and I'd actually argue that they would need to be on this list more so than 'Bitte Orca'. Because they have tunes -- and Dirty Projectors do not. Well, not always, at least ...

Very puzzled by this album. Puzzled how this was made, puzzled why this was made, puzzled with what it's doing on this list. There's a noticeable lack of even basic music rhythmic structure that gives everything a slapdash and unprofessional feel that is very grating and unappealing. Even the decent parts feel almost accidental, as if there's a deep misunderstanding of basic musical ideas

#277/1001. This one was new to me, and even falling to sleep in the airplane due to too early morning wake up, I want to go back again and see if this is a 5. Who are them? Where did they come from and what are they doing on earth? Innovative music at least.

Really liked the ending of this album. I don't agree with others that it was "needlessly complicated" or "disorganized." Mostly I am feeling like this was a fun break from the other stuff on this list. Probably won't ever come back to this, but it's interesting enough and I'm glad I listened to it.

Much better than I was expecting! I'm not really the type who seeks out Indie music of any sort(unless it's 80s college rock), but this does so much more than the standard Indie fare. Lots of weird time signatures and changes that'll keep you on your toes and I really liked both the male and female lead vocals quite a bit.

Indie rock standard. Takes me back to camping summer of 2013 with Jess

This album came across as a self-indulgent, hipster-leaning art statement that felt more concerned with being eccentric than being listenable. It's an overload of sonic experimentation that rarely settles into anything cohesive. Bitte Orca is tolerable at its absolute peak, but at its lowest points it’s a chore to get through. It didn’t resonate with me at all. In all honestly, it feels like another example of why the original 1001-album list didn’t need to be expanded.

This is music for people who want everyone to know how edgy and different they are. In other words, this isn't even remotely likeable music as it never settles into a normal cadence that could be enjoyed. People who give this a 5 want to watch the world burn.

Didn't enjoy this

I liked a few songs. Mainly the ones sang by the female member of the group. The male vocalist just didn’t do it for me. Also there were a few songs that had good parts and then completely changed to a different vibe and killed my enjoyment. A few also had strange time signatures that I couldn’t get into

Holy god that was a rough listen. I get that it's art and pushing the boundaries, but that was like those videos where they try to imitate what it's like to have a panic attack and be overstimulated at the same time. This is what I imagine a bad mushroom trip sounds like. I can't put a timestamp on any good or enjoyable moment in this album. Pretty sure I made some GarageBand music better than this when I was 8. 1/10

From Wiki: "The word "bitte" is a German word for "please", and "orca" is another name for a killer whale. Frontman David Longstreth states that he liked the way the words sound together." Lmao that's the most pretentious 2010s hipster thing I've ever heard. It perfectly encapsulates the messy, disjointed chaos on this album (to what end?) whose sound is so 2010s indie it hurts. I won't go as far as to say I hate it, like a lot of other reviewers, because taste is subjective and I always salute artists for being bold and getting real weird with it. That's how music moves forward, after all. But as a young millennial who was in high school in 2009 - when this type of indie alt-pop was truly inescapable - I now know how GenX feels when they're subjected to bad albums from their heyday that failed to age well (and have that stereotypical sound). Again, I respect the effort. However, I'd recommend Hiatus Kaiyote's 2015 record 'Choose Your Weapon' if you want something similar to this that actually sticks the landing.

I really like this album, kinda funky with some soft rock vibes and good vocals.

I was ready to hate this after looking at the reviews, but I kind of enjoyed it.

it sounds like when that one guy with a beanie in a rich "hippie" group threatens to pull out a guitar and suddenly every mf around is jolly and one with nature

A very complex and interesting listen. I really like the singing and the progressiveness of the songs 7/10 Favourite: Cannibal Resource Least Favourite: The Bride

Very restless beats with male falsetto....it was interesting to listen to, but I won't listen again. And "Bitte Orca" is such a fucking stupid name.

I remember this band from my college radio days but never really listened fully to any of their albums. Very solid indie record - into "No Intention" and "Flourescent Half Dome" especially.

Certainly not the worst album on this list, but i found this quite forgettable. Not much to hold on to in the listen, even if it wasn’t too bad to listen to.

I think there was one track that I felt caught my attention but even at that the song felt scattered which is a word that sums up the album as a whole. Clearly that’s what they intended but it just doesn’t do it for me.

I remember really liking this album. I think it was definitely a at the time thing and not sure it really holds up as well. It's fun and interesting but definitely doesn't hold up for me. Although truthfully the more I listen the more I like it. There are really interesting textures made with the harmonies and some unexpected discordant sounds

a strange album - it started quite good and then transitioned into i don't really know what

It's lovely to listen to an album that has already lived inside my bones, with words that flow out of me without a second thought. I haven't listened to this all the way through in years but it still feels as dreamlike and bold.

Fist couple of songs not my thing but the album grew and love the end half. Great production, amazing voices, interesting songs

A little bit too pretentious for me at times and overall kind of boring. But every kind of music has it's own time and place. This album's place and time is when I'm in retirement home however.

As someone who likes experimental and weird music this was excruciatingly painful to listen to. It's offbeat, but instead of creating a nice sound landscape, it just feels like I'm listening to children in a playground trying to start their own band. Favs: Actually none

Another album that felt like it happened to me rather than me listening to it, but I mean that positively this time. It’s a similar feeling to getting out of a mosh pit, bruised and out of breath. It’s surprising, bright, and creative. I’d call it throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks, but so much of it sticks that that feels like underselling it. Will definitely revisit.

o famoso “mais genérico que paracetamol de 5 na farmácia”, não é ruim, mas é ruim

DEFINITIVAMENTE um album de indie rock de 2009. esse album FEDE a millennial puta merda eh meia boca. nao curti mto nao....

Refreshingly original, complex music

I mean really, What’s that?? Strange.

Some interesting sounds can be found on Bitte Orca but you have to go through a lot of mediocre to flat out bad junk to find them & to me it's just not worth it. An overall bad experience with brief moments of interesting, inspired music. The vocals are annoying above all else. There goes my 5/5 streak!

Glorious. In turns beautiful and energetic. 4.5/5

the reason this is so well reviewed is because it’s so annoying

The title of this album is very much a harbinger for the music it contains. Two words that don’t fit and are nonsensical together, just because the band thinks it can sounds good. This record is filled with exactly that; the band trying things to be different. But different isn’t always good. Have you ever heard the phrase, “even a blind squirrel finds a nut every once in a while?” That’s this album in a nutshell (pun not intended). Sure, in trying to be unique they very sporadically stumble into something good, but way more often than not it’s just strange and not good at all.

Very cool. I dig.

Pretty cool, kinda Bjork-ish (she sang with them a bunch of times)

Two Doves was really the only song on the album I enjoyed. The rest though very unique, just didn't hit for me.

Kind of a weird album. A good mixup after listening to so many of these albums now, so at least it’s got that going for it. Credit earned where credit is due for having a pretty creative sound but nothing was jaw dropping for me.

Interesante indie rock. Me hizo acordar por momentos a Radiohead, pero claramente peores. Estuvo entretenido. 6/10

Bitte no more

Most 2009 rock album ever. Not a good thing

Cool!

Interesting and well done, but nothing terribly noteworthy. Pitchfork: 9.2 Rolling Stone: n/a Best Songs Temecula Sunrise Stillness Is The Move No Intention

Did not care for this at all. Mostly discordant to my ears. Some was listenable, but not much.

holy shit was i missing out!! the tightest album ive ever heard. not a note out of place. hearing each song after the other was so exciting and refreshing. wish it was longer tbh

Ok 2/5

Overall, pretty nice album. Again though, nothing that hit me more than anything else. Favorite Song: Two Doves - beautiful lyrics, love the instrumental melody, the “call on me” almost sounds like a bird call

Feels very Coldplay derivative. Like they're trying to do something artsy and unique here but it just doesn't sound good. All the sounds kind of blend into one big ball of meh.

Mannered, proggy, hints of Squeeze, of Beach Boys, plenty of herky-jerky beats and fiddly guitar lines, but not much in the way of melody or hooks or interest. All very insubstantial. If you asked "Alexa, play an audio example of 'clever-clever' ", then this album would be what Alexa played.

Опять рок? Сколько можно. Чё это за хор? Понимаю что это задумка что б было многое в разнобой, как ляпание и смешивание цветов, но я пока не как на это реагировать. Что с вокалом? Просто кревляние. А что с инструментами? Они как будто расстроены. Какой-то непонятный инди-хипстерский поп рок, много импровизации. Я понимаю задумку авторов, но простите я этот кал дальше слушать не намерена

I didn’t really enjoy listening to this album. It’s not as bad as a one star album, but it isn’t worth three stars, either. It’s just not my cup of tea. The vocals are kinda shrill and none of the songs really stands out, neither lyrically, nor melody-wise.

Likte da ikkje

Couple songs were ok but some I couldn’t even finish.

Honestly I enjoyed it. Total surprise, but it kinda weird and at times eclectic but the variety kept things fresh and the sudden tempo changes made sure I was paying attention

Took a few listens to get into the groove for this, but turned out quite a good listen. Quirky vocals, strange rhythms but melodies were catchy.

Kind of gentle and discordant without ever being particularly interesting. It was perfectly okay as background music.

Overall that was really bad. The male vocal was terrible and the guitar playing wasn’t any better. I don’t need to hear that ever again.

Really interesting album. Id love to come back to it at some point and give it a bit more time Good, high 3

Непогано, деякі пісні сподобалися, але більшість пройшли повз

Straight off the bat you can hear the quality in the production value of this album. All the instruments are very precise in there unique playing styles. It does slightly remind me of a more recent band, Black Country New Road. Which is a compliment to say the least as there discography is very impressive. As always love the proggy elements of this, nice to hear that in a more indie sounding track. I think the standout of this album is probably the unique voice of David Longstreth. It perfectly compliments what else is going on in each track, especially with that twangy acoustic guitar being picked at throughout. I love the addition of Amber Coffman on ‘Stillness Is The Move’, and specifically the placement of the song in the album. I think it breaks up the record nicely and was most definitely intentional. Favourite tracks are: ‘Cannibal Recourse’, ‘Stillness Is The Move’, ‘Two Doves’ and ‘Useful Chamber’.

pop-rock tranquilito, buenas voces, musicalidad, alegre, está bien de fondo, mood tranquilo pero de buen humor, chill, 3/5 solido

Alternative, solid

Oof this is getting a lot of hate, but I really like it. I mean, I like their two biggest influences - trip hop and synth pop. I had never heard of them before, but I put several songs on my naughty aughties playlist so I'll keep listening to them. I wouldn't say every song was a hit, and I do like more variety.

Insufferably twee. The most "American indie rock band from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2002" album imaginable. Like Arcade Fire if they had no song-writing talent. You don't even need to listen to this album to hate it; just read the frontman's quotes on the Wikipedia page.

no pude pasar de la primera canción, tal vez en otro momento le de otra oportunidad

Solid

Pretty nice music.

Very unique album. Fantastic layered vocals throughout. The song writing is creative and structured super differently. The drum tones and playing are great, when they’re present — almost has Bonham-esque pauses and style. Very good album. Solid 4.2

Self-conciously artsy pop like this is going to be divisive, but while it might be a bit too out-there for the top marks, it mostly works for me. It's refreshing to hear something so unusual, so obviously the product of a cohesive vision. And I don't really get the hate: sure, the lyrics are weird and the sudden shifts in time signatures can be jarring but the actual melodies that form the backbones of these songs are delightful: funky, stirring and punctuated by lush string arrangements.

While listening to this album, the word that came to mind was hodgepodge as that is what the music seemed to me. Most of the songs were like a collection of snippets of music strung together with little rhyme or reason and titled and that was the song. I didn't hate it, but for me, it was just mediocre.

Interesting. good

i don't think i've listened to this album, but I may have heard other songs from this group in passing (i think it was the album they did with Bjork?) i remember sort of enjoying it, so i have high hopes Cannibal Resource - 3/5 Temecula Sunrise - 1/5 The Bride - 3/5 Stillness Is the Move - 3/5 Two Doves - 4/5 Useful Chamber - 4/5 No Intention - 3/5 Remade Horizon - 3/5 Fluorescent Half Dome - 4/5 Average score: 3.1/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ as someone who is usually a huge fan of art pop, i'm afraid i didn't enjoy this nearly as much as i hoped i would there's just too much going on both instrumentally and vocally in my personal opinion, especially in the beginning. are we trying to be folk? math rock? i'm all for experimentation and combining genres, but here it's all clashing and it lowkey giving me a headache on the bright side, their sound seems to be a little more focused and easier on the ears in the last half. there's interesting ideas happening here, but it could've used some refinement

I liked it more than I thought I would. Some of the songs towards the end grew on me.

Top Songs: Cannibal Resource Stillness is the Move

Gave me sprinkles of Jeff Buckley vibes.

'Stillness is the Move' is a great track that I played a couple of times. Seemed out of place with much of the rest of the album. Actually quite disliked the first couple of tracks. Last half of the album was a bit better and enough to stop a 1/5.

This was pretty standard indie fare, I really didn't find a ton to be super attached to in this. It was good no doubt, but it is sort of the type of album that makes me question why it was included. I don't get how this is some unskippable album everyone should hear, it was like super normal. Favorites: Cannibal Resource, The Bride, Useful Chamber

I don't get it.

Album is okay but not something I'd listen to again. I did enjoy their popular song 'Stillness is a Move'

3.5/5 Okay this was looking like a typical good on first listen 3 star album but Useful Chamber just earned it a relisten. And they remind me so much of BCNR.

Nothing struck me during one way or the other

Kinda wack tbh

I don't recall hearing of these folks before. The first track, Cannibal Resource, drew my attention, it's got quite a different feel. I also enjoyed No Intention with its jingly jangly guitar, it even scored a double listen which is a positive indicator. A good find!

Yo soy la jurado y si no me gustó, no me gustó!

50 seconds into the first song girl what is this this band def went to coachella with flower crowns in 2014 is there gonna be someone yelling in the back of all these songs favorite song: two doves

Tough listen on a Monday morning, but cool to listen something from them other than the björk collab

3/5

It’s a bit of ramble jamble of sounds, but overall hangs together and rewards the listener. It’s strange, and probably hard to digest, but I kind of dig it. Outside of the music itself, it embodies of the era in music//popular culture, capturing probably the peak of music-blog taste making.

3.2 2x enjoyable indie but i dont see revisiting

I was not in the proper mood to focus on this properly. I can say it is interesting and different without being inaccessible. I think I might like it even better after more listens but for now it is a 3/5.

Classic

I think that yankee foxtrot hotel ruined any other 2000s indie folky style type albums for me. None of the others standup to it. And this album though maybe not the exact same genre still isn’t as good. I don’t love this album and it’s just kinda annoying me tbh. The violin and drums sound good though and I like the length of the album. That’s perfect!

This is a strong candidate for the most 2009 album of all time; maybe even more than The XX. It's peak late 00s indie excess and quirkiness for the sake of quirkiness. It's impossible to understand the rise of 'Stomp Clap' indie folk in the 2010s without understanding how unbearable 'regular' indie became. I'm not sure there's even any Stomp Clap records on this list which seems unfair given it's momentary importance, but I won't dwell on it. The Dirty Projectors brand of landfill indie made great fodder for hipster store soundtracks and forgetting that we were in the height of the worst recession since the great depression, but it's never been great active listening music. "Temecula Sunrise" and "Useful Chamber" are especially difficult listens. The only bit of nostalgia I got from this record was a compulsion to listen to Los Campesinos! (apparently my preferred version of this kind of music). Two stars because it offers useful momentary context, but otherwise doesn't feel like required listening. I won't revisit this one.

Literally no more indie-anything. I’m over it!!

Straight from the opening seconds it hits you with these amazing arrangements and vocal harmonies. Temecula sunrise in particular with that beautiful climax at the end. The songwriting is strong and flashy, especially at the catchier songs like Stillness is the Move. There is some weirder and more experimental moments but those also showcase great instrumentation and song composition skills. Feels like every single climax and chorus hits just the way it should. Falls off slightly in the last 2 songs but that doesn't really matter, the album packs so much quality.

1.5

Nope

Not as good as thought I was. Remembered why I deleted it out of my iTunes. Boring

I'd heard of the Dirty Projectors and they were featured a lot in the NYC indie music book Meet 'Me in the Bathroom' so this was a fun listen. The album and best song were both ranked #2 behind Animal Collective's 'Merriweather Post Pavilion' and "My Girls," which I love. Super creative and love that they make interesting music rather than radio-edited pop hits. Not my exact favorite songs but liked a couple. Glad to move on knowing more about them.

Not really my type of music

In the beginning, the rhythm, pace and tone are almost chaotic but somehow comes together beautifully as the album goes on. Overall, I enjoyed the playfulness and unique sounds.

I admire the attempt but ultimately nothing really stayed with me.

This is a Seinfeld album - it's an album about nothing. It's not great, not offensive, not imaginative, not bland - it's really not anything. I imagine the band looks like an SNL skit about a hipster/indie pop band that never made it but still somehow continued into their 40's. So many f'ing 2's on this list.

This just makes me tired it's trying so hard to be important.

If I had found this in 2009 and had been smoking at that point, I might've liked this. There's bits I kinda dig, but don't like it overall.

Þetta var áhugavert, aldrei heyrt um þessa hljómsveit. Fílaði nokkur lögin betur en önnur. Erfitt að segja samt að þetta eigi heima á þessum lista.

Fínasta indírokk. Tónar vel við það sem var að gerast í indíinu á þeim tíma.

What an odd album. There are moments of pop greatness and moments of awful falsetto. The female vocals are much better than the male vocals. The instrumentation is hit or miss as well. Just enough to maintain a 3

I'll probably never listen to this album ever again but having said that, it's not bad.

Two Doves wants to sound like Nico's Fairest of the Seasons, right? kinda like aspects of this in a way that makes me ashamed to be a Millennial. things I will defend: - the time signature inconsistencies & changes are a good idea to give the songs forward motion. they show up in organic places. they simply didn't rock hard enough for it to land. - the split parts are a good idea, a thing that is consistently cool in band dynamics. some of the guitar lines are a big nothing, some of them do rock. the indefensible: - Dirty Projectors guy's oversinging lots sounds like a band trying hard to be fun, not pretentious, but they don't get there, and I do feel a little sad judging. this is a 2 because I can't see myself suggesting anyone listen. music: hated. (⌐■_■)

Assuming this has some connection to the +Bjork EP, due to the orca theme. I like the EP quite a bit, and was disappointed this wasn’t as good. I guess that’s the +Bjork factor. This doesn’t grind my gears the way a lot of semi-cutesy indie rock does, but I’m not writing home about it either.

Look I get what they’re going for. But most of the time the weird timing stuff and strange harmonies just get repetitive and annoying, not really interesting. The pieces get recycled over and over and it just doesn’t get anywhere for me.

re-living 2013

I really disliked this

Not objectively horrible, but so incredibly boring and tuneless.

4/10

Unlistenable, talentless garbage.

Too flowery and atmospheric for my taste. Excellent vocals. Well written, just not by bag.

I don’t hate it, but it sounds like a slightly less annoying pared down Andrew Bird to me and I’m a little perplexed about this standing out as a must add to the list

I heard a toddler cover this record, track for track, on a Fisher Price toy piano, with his feet.

A new treasure that I knew nothing about previously

Annoying, weird, messy and pretentious

An unexpectedly pleasant modern indie rock while staying unique

Delightful. I remember this era of quirky cute vibe being so popular, which I suspect gave way to Portlandia. At the time I was off in a different direction, and so never got acquainted with Dirty Projectors, but I did like this a lot. In fact I probably listened to it three times.

This is a rare album that despite being very adventurous and experimental, is still digestible and even catchy at times. Amber and Angel's vocals are frequently almost too good -- They outshine some truly outstanding guitar work and composition. The vocal harmonies are gorgeous and entrancing. The hocketing (a technique I learned from this album) sounds otherworldly. It's not perfect. The last song drags a bit for me. I'm conflicted, but I think I've been a bit stingy recently, so I'm going to go with... Light 5.

Favourite: Two Doves

Listened making breakfast and in shower Stillness is the move Listened before

Ehh, not for me. Kind of weird.

Felt pretentious and self-indulgent in an obnoxious way. 2*

I thought i would like this when it FIRST started (based on the instrumentation) but the background vocals were something... I like parts of it but some of the more experimental choices are not for me.

Would have gotten 1 star if not for Two Doves. I don’t know how this album got on this list. Maybe I am too young to appreciate its relevance at the time but I have never heard of this group before today.

favs: stillness is the move

I imagine this is what indie sounds like to people who don't like indie.

Interesting group. With 3 different lead singers it really changes the dynamics of the music from song to song.

I kept coming back to this one and listening to it again on accident and I think I think it’s pretty cool

An interesting album

Very unique, poppy rock. They play with the tempo a lot. Interesting. 5/5

Too busy I can’t submit to anything

Stillness is the move is een prachtig nummer holy shit. De vrouwelijke vocals dragen echt ontzettend bij en zijn fantastisch. Ook de instrumentale stukken brengen dit nummer absoluut naar een hoger niveau! Maar jammer genoeg is zij wel een gast vocalist en niet de vaste zangeres. Veel nummers die daarna of daarvoor komen klinken namelijk best wel rommelig. Vooral Useful Chamber, met het stuk rond 'Bitte Orca, Orca Bitte' is gewoon echt herrie. Het is 10000% de artistieke keuze want dit is verder niet iets wat je op het album hoort, maar toch he... Zonde, want op de momenten dat het werkt is dit een prachtig album, maar er zit toch net iets te veel experimentele troep op sommige nummers. Wel moet gezegd; instrumentaal is dit een van de meest interessante rock/indie albums die ik heb geluisterd voor deze lijst. Er word gebruik gemaakt van heel veel verschillende instrumenten en ook stemmen worden soms als een soort extra instrument gebruikt. Jup, dit is een heel raar album. Maar soms houd ik van raar. Toch 3 sterren. FAVO: Stillness is the move, No intention

Sounds like my college radio station's playlist for indie. Right up my alley, but nothing too crazy to write home about. Cannibal Resource ★★★☆☆ Temecula Sunrise ★★★☆☆ The Bride ★★★☆☆ Stillness Is the Move ★★★★☆ Two Doves ★★★☆☆ Useful Chamber ★★★☆☆ No Intention ★★★☆☆ Remade Horizon ★★★☆☆ Fluorescent Half Dome ★★★☆☆ Average Album Rating: 3.1/5.0 ★★★☆☆

I like the name 'Dirty Projectors' and there are a few tracks that have an original sound, but overall I'd take this sound in VERY light doses.

It's not bad, but man oh man, I couldn't wait for this to be over.

This sounds like a modern progressive rock. Kinda good.

I’m sure this kind of discordant sound is interesting in theory but it’s horrendously tiresome

trip and a half sounds like songs that would be played in midsommar

Modern masterpiece

There are parts that I like. Most of it seems contrived and ”artsy” for the sake of being ”artsy”. That might be a reason as good as any, but for me it doesn’t seem genuine.

This is very 2009. I don't think I am the target audience - but I'm sure the indie/emo hipsters back then had a great time with this.

solid album. not my favorite but not bad

Removed Album #20 (List: https://pastebin.com/cSThNiK9) Cool, another ex-album. I'm not sure what to expect from this cover. Indie Pop seems like my best bet, so I think I'll roll with that. I was not prepared for a male vocalist, especially one with this intonation. This is, tragically, a weak link. The sub-3 albums on this list have yielded some of my favourites, but this is just bad. Different for the sake of being different, every song blends a million different influences together to create its own disgusting, nonspecific genre. Very, very little of this album works as a result. The guitar sections on "The Bride" are a brief reprieve from the rest of the song. "Stillness is the Move" is shockingly bad. A shitty, nightmarish instrumental paired with shitty, nightmarish vocals. "Two Doves" has some decent vocals, though the mixing is complete shite. The deafening acoustic guitars and string sections prevent the song from offering any reprieve. The instrumental doesn't fit the vocals in general, really. I like the dreamier aspects of "Useful Chamber", though that instrumental is, once again, far too busy. The track is way longer than it needed to be, too. Why was this album removed? To the book entry I go. Where the band found their footing. Many influences. A whole lotta wank about Dave Longstreth and his fancy Yale degree. Wikipedia reveals that this album is about "colours and their interaction" (what wank LMAO). It had modest success on the charts and was well received by critics. Yeah, no. Fuck this album. While I am generally favourable to the "outsider" picks on this list, my fundamental problem with this album is that it isn't interesting. The music is discordant and jarring without having anything that hints at a genuine craft or creative passion. In place of this album, I humbly submit Happy Bivouac by The Pillows for inclusion on the list.

Like Grizzly Bear and Vampire Weekend had a baby and decided as a family to raise that baby without choruses. Had a great time, did miss the choruses, though.

Can’t believe this in one of the 1001?

I remember liking this when I first heard it but it feels dated now. Very late 2000s Indie Rock, everything is staccato. Still kinda fun but I don’t think I’ll go back to it often.

1.0 Was it different? Sure. Was it good? fuck no.

I don’t know that I get the hate for this one. It was mentioned earlier today (weird how that happens) on a Reddit thread for 1-star records. The reviews are largely pretty scathing on this site, and I guess I was sort of looking forward to this one just to hear how bad it could truly be. There are so, so many worse records on 1001. I mean, I just got a David Bowie record yesterday that is markedly worse than this. Everything Neil Young has shit out is less enjoyable than Bitte Orca. This site has so much tepid trash to sift through, but this record? I don’t get how this record has offended so many people. Is this some work of staggering genius? I don’t think so, but neither is it offensively bad. Weird? Sure, and seemingly intentionally so. But there is some beauty here that I can appreciate. And some of it is legitimately interesting. Large parts of this record really work for me; some of it doesn’t, for sure (and sometimes in the same song where I thought there was some good stuff going on). I usually hate self-indulgent, art-house nonsense that demands too much of the listener, but this really isn’t that. I’m actually finding this refreshing, though that may be because I was expecting the worst, given the reviews. 3.8/5 I'm rounding up because I actually went back and listened again.

I’m not sure this was for me. I can appreciate the experimental qualities of the songs but none of them resonated with me. I enjoyed the voices of the females in the group.

6.5/10

First album i’ve ever listened to by Dirty Projectors and it was quite good. Loved the prog-rock and psychedelic inspirations for the album as a whole. The album artwork is really interesting as it prompted me to listen to the music as soon as possible. My favourite tracks were the opener Cannibal Resource, Temecula Sunrise, Stillness is the Move and Useful Chamber. The whimsical and odd lyrics of useful chamber also have a reprise where the albums title is repeated and that alongside the folky instrumentation made me love it even more. GEMV (11.12.2025) Rating: 3.5-4/5

I had low expectations after reading the reviews… but I thought it was great 👍

A lot of alternative sounds, very diverse, but overall a bit meh. 3/5

Maybe not a 1001 material, but I like it

2.5

Det er verdt å gjøre seg kriminell for å fjerne denne fra verden

Very up it's own arse, I think.

Solid

0412 11:47 2.5 / highlight: useful chamber

Sound like one long song if people messing around in the studio - meh

Not to my taste

pretentious as 2009 could get

One of the first songs annoyed me so much I don’t even care to refer back to it to name it here. Why the hell is this on here - weak 2 stars, nearly gave it a 1 but I don’t have the strength to relisten and give it much thought

there's like 5 different time signatures in temecula sunrise and the main hook is the drummer hitting his sticks together a few times to some awkward angular guitar notes and then some douchebag singing HIIIIIIGH, TEMECULA SUNRIIIIIIIIISE, and sometimes the drummer will start playing a completely unrelated beat for like a second during the song... this is the most weirdly structured album ever

Ovo je dobro ali nevjerojatno "kraj nultih" album

ha s erste lied cool gfunde. aber s isch wiedermol e indie "band" wo s projekt isch vomne guy. has bim ufruume glost und find immer wieder sache meeega geil und sache chli seltsam. fluorescent half dome het zb en merega geile beat.

That was pretentious fluff.

Nothing special

3/5

Very interesting

Not really my thing. Very unique though, so credits for that. Also, reminds me of Parkitect music, the game I was playing while listening. Highlights: Stillness Is The Move and Useful Chamber.

interesting

Respect to LZ. This one's isn't a fave for me
