The word “bitte” is just a German word for “please,” and “orca” is the carnivorous whale. And I guess you know, there’s not really a literal meaning to draw out of the phrase. But I like the way the words sound together. I feel like there’s some kind of sense just in the relation between the two. Sort of like, “please please me” or something. There’s a part that’s sort of gentle, and supple, and then there’s a part that’s barbed, and demanding. “Bitte” is a polite word, but it’s sharp.

Also, this confirms that this tumblr is a shill for: Dirty Projectors and Pitchfork, at least. Not that they need shilling.
