Which indie rock band's 2009 album 'Bitte Orca' features intricate vocal harmonies?

The indie rock band behind the 2009 album Bitte Orca, known for its intricate vocal harmonies, is Dirty Projectors.

Bitte Orca was Dirty Projectors' fifth studio album and arrived on June 9, 2009, through Domino Recording Company. Led by songwriter and guitarist David Longstreth, the group blended indie rock with art pop, unusual rhythms, interlocking guitar parts and layered vocal writing. The harmonies are especially prominent in the work of Amber Coffman, Angel Deradoorian and the other singers surrounding Longstreth.

The album's nine-track sequence includes “Stillness Is the Move,” “Temecula Sunrise” and “Cannibal Resource.” “Stillness Is the Move” became its best-known song and helped introduce the band to a wider audience. The record was also praised for balancing experimental ideas with recognizable song structures.

A common mix-up is Grizzly Bear or Fleet Foxes, both associated with rich vocal harmonies in indie music. Animal Collective is another plausible-sounding distractor because of its experimental reputation, but Bitte Orca belongs specifically to Dirty Projectors.
