Talking of international and Icelandic artists, that Björk and those Dirty Projectors have got together to wail about a whale. Or, they've made an album together. Which, given the reverie both inspire, should make more than just whales wet.
"Mount Wittenberg Orca is called Mount Wittenberg Orca because it is about whales," says David Longstreth about their work together. This seven-song, 21-minute collection is the first original music the band has recorded since 2009's Bitte Orca.
