From Bjork.com:
"In May 2009, Björk and Dirty Projectors, asked by Brandon Stosuy from Stereogum.com, performed a charity concert of seven songs written just for this occasion. Read more about that on Stereogum. A year later they have finally come about to record it in a studio and is set to release the outcome - Mount Wittenberg Orca - at the end of this month. Also more on this @ Stereogum. This is exhilarating news!"
All proceeds from the digital sales (website http://www.mountwittenbergorca.com/) will go to the National Geographic Society for the project of creating international marine protected areas.
Mount Wittenberg is located at Point Reyes National Seashore in California. The inspiration for the EP came when Amber Coffman of Dirty Projectors saw a pod of whales off the coast while hiking at that spot.[2]
