Fresh Biscuits: Dirty Projectors

Screw Animal Collective and Grizzly Bear, this is my overly premature pick for album of the year. Pop flourishes mixed with African guitar and two part female harmonies, its 'Bitte Orca' by the Dirty Projectors. Nope, can't beat this. Oh, the full album is streaming here at the NPR website.
