Mount Wittenberg Orca, a for charity collaboration of Björk and Dirty Projectors, was conceived more than a year ago when a member of Dirty Projectors was struck by inspiration after spotting a pod of whales whilst hiking from high atop San Francisco’s Mount Wittenberg.  The songs that were the result of this moment of epiphany, written from the different perspectives of the members of the family of Californian whales, are what you could expect from any Björk and Dirty Projectors project inspired by an environmentalist reimagining of the story of Moses on Mount Sinai—weird and good.

The seven tracks were released digitally about a month or two ago with profits going to benefit the National Geographic Society Oceans Project. 

Here’s “All We Are.”  If you dig it, do the baby whales a favor and buy the full set over at the project’s official website.  The suggested donation starts at 7 USD.
