Vinyl Pressing Review

Dirty Projectors


Bitte Orca


Reviewed by Jeb Banner on 07.30.2009

A very clean, quiet pressing that appears to have been mastered for vinyl by someone who knows what they are doing. Lots of nice low end and the guitars in particular have a nice presence compared to digital version. This is a fantastic record, already a contender for best of year in my opinion. T-Rex meets Yes mixed with Indie rock and a little modern R&B.
