Music for Perfect People

Thanks to NPR, fans who were displeased with the announcement that Björk‘s Biophilia was getting its official release pushed back to October 10th, can now stream the album in its entirety. According to Björk, the album, which was created as a collaboration between iPad apps, needed some fine tuning after the Icelandic pop musician played some of the material live.

The Dirty Projectors and Björk have teamed up to create a 7 track EP, titled Mount Wittenberg Orca, to benefit the National Geographic Society Oceans Project. The EP is available digitally here for a donation amount of $7, $25, $50, or $100 .. you can go from cheap to steep with your donation but its for a good cause!

In the letter below, David Longstreth of the Dirty Projectors explains the project:

We’ve decided to give away all the money that Wittenberg generates to the project of creating international marine protected areas. Only 1% of the oceans are protected in any way and this is a huge problem. We’re working with the National Geographic Society to create areas of sustainability, so the oceans don’t end up like a giant poisonous corpse hugging the continents. You can learn more about this project here and here and here and here.

We’re so psyched about how this recording came out and hope you are too. Don’t listen on those tinny computer speakers — put in on the stereo and blast dat shiiiiiiiiii!!

Enjoy.
