Bitte Orca

Bitte Orca is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Dirty Projectors, released on June 9, 2009, by Domino Recording Company. 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 sounded together. Longstreth notes that the music contained within the album "felt very [much] about colors, and their interaction," and that the music was written with the notion of the band, as a whole, in mind. Two of the album's tracks, "Temecula Sunrise" and "Cannibal Resource", appeared on the subsequent EP release, Temecula Sunrise, alongside two new songs. The album peaked at number 65 on the Billboard 200 and number 12 on the Independent Albums chart. As of April 4, 2012, the album has sold 85,000 copies in the U.S. Bitte Orca is the only studio album by the group to feature Angel Deradoorian as a full-time member.
