They said yes. He asked Björk the same thing, and she said yes. Then he asked them if they wanted to collaborate, and they said yes. Björk asked Dave what they should do, and he said, “I don’t know, I guess I’d really love to write a bunch of new songs for us to sing together?” And she said yes.
That same month, Amber from Dirty Projectors was walking along a ridge on Mount Wittenberg, north of San Francisco. She was looking out at the ocean and saw a little family of whales, as you sometimes do in April on the Northern California coast. Dave wrote some songs about it and sent them to Björk, who agreed to sing the part of the mom whale. The songs became Mount Wittenberg Orca. Amber and Angel and Haley sang the part of the kid whales, and Dave sang the part of Amber.
Mount Wittenberg Orca was released on June 30. All the money that it generates goes to the project of creating international marine protected areas.

02 On and Ever Onward
Dirty Projectors + Björk Lyrics
If you grow up in the river
The river's all you know
If you're swimming in the current
The current knows where you are gone
Ah, the current knows where you are gone
On and ever onward
Our home is all around us
On and ever onward
Our love is all around us
Tempurpedic is the ocean
Our backyard is the bay
From the morning to the evening
Swimming onwards through the day
Ah, swimming onwards through the day
On and ever onward
Our home is all around us
On and ever onward
Our love is all around us
Our love is all around us
Our love is all around us
Our love is all around us
The river's all you know
If you're swimming in the current
The current knows where you are gone
Ah, the current knows where you are gone
On and ever onward
Our home is all around us
On and ever onward
Our love is all around us
Tempurpedic is the ocean
Our backyard is the bay
From the morning to the evening
Swimming onwards through the day
Ah, swimming onwards through the day
On and ever onward
Our home is all around us
On and ever onward
Our love is all around us
Our love is all around us
Our love is all around us
Our love is all around us
