David Longstreth, high-end crackpot behind Dirty Projectors, has said that much of the music on their simultaneously confounding, accessible, and awwwesome new album was heavily inspired by singer Amber Coffman’s trip to California, more specifically by a whale sighting from Mount Wittenberg. (Local slugabeds like me might not know that’s in Point Reyes. Get out more! And tell me what it’s like.)
Anyways, I guess the other end of the state made an impression, too.
Go see! (locals: July 7 @ Independent, tix still available last time I checked. Why???)

Mt. Whitenburg. Real Nice. You are lucky to have such a clear day let alone spot a whale from twelve miles away from the ocean.
It is quite a hike though.
