n. (plural of orca English)

Orcas is a musical collaboration between Pacific Northwest minimalist composer Rafael Anton Irisarri and multi-instrumentalist singer-songwriter Benoit Pioulard.
On January 21, 2011, Irisarri and Pioulard released a cover version of Broadcast's "Until Then" (from the band's 2000 album The Noise Made By People), as a tribute to the late Trish Keenan. Later that year, the collaboration spawned into a full, new project, called Orcas.
The duo's self-titled debut LP was released in April 2012 on Germany's Morr Music imprint. Together they combine their distinct individual approaches to composition, melody, texture and rhythm into "a genuine, coherent album that conjures immense shadows and immense depths worthy of its namesake." Irisarri's trademark tonality and analog scratchiness is heard throughout the record. Orcas toured throughout 2012 in Europe and in select cities in North America.
The artwork for their debut record was created by audio/visual artist Sean Curtis Patrick of The Attempted Theft of Millions. The cover depicted a hand holding a small Kachina Doll in Polaroid SX-70 film. Patrick also created the music video "Arrow Drawn" and accompanying visual projections for live shows.
Their debut self-titled album was listed as one of 2012's best records by numerous blogs and websites.
Morr Music announced in January 2014 that Orcas will release their second album entitled Yearling later in April. This announcement was accompanied by a promo video made by their visual collaborator Sean Curtis Patrick. The press release stated "For 'Yearling', ORCAS members Benoît Pioulard and Rafael Anton Irisarri (The Sight Below) teamed up with Martyn Heyne (of Efterklang) on guitar and piano, and Michael Lerner (Telekinesis) on drums to build upon the subdued ambience of their self-titled debut, adding a huge dose of analog warmth to their hazy pop leanings."
O R C A S is the self-titled debut full-length album from American dreampop duo Orcas.
Usage examples of "orcas".
Down went the head as the whale arched his back, of the orcas sprinting out of the way as the multiton bull plunged rapidly and unhesitatingly for the silence of the depths.
The sandy bottom was still only some fourteen meters below them, and the orcas hung within that medium, floating as if suspended in air.
All the while the furious megalichthyian, which had already killed or severely wounded several less circumspect orcas, slashed and thrust at its tormentor.
But Poleetat, though the strongest of the orcas, was nearing the end of his strength and saw that something radically new in the way of fighting would be needed to end this war.
The convulsions faded and the monster soon died, for it could not breathe air, as could orcas and men.
Poleetat summoned orcas from wherever they had scattered to, and told them they could swim safely with their calves now, for this particularly dangerous enemy had been vanquished.
The orcas managed to grasp the tail of the megalichthyian where it lay on the edge of the ice.
There was no sign of the orcas, nor yet of those they would try to question.
It was slower than that of the orcas, almost as if its orginator found the mere process of speaking boring beyond belief.
The latter was engaged as a matter of procedure more than anything else, since the two patrolling orcas provided a far more efficient advance detection system than anything composed of circuitry and transceivers.
The orcas were so fast that the hapless crewmembers barely had time to take aim with their weapons.
The moment the gunmen moved out of range, the orcas concentrated their assault on the ulterior of the twin hulls.
Working in tandem with the sophisticated tracking equipment on board, the orcas located first one solitary whale, then a second.
He looked quite massive enough to Cora to fight off all fifty orcas, even if for some reason they elected to contest such a battle.
Any such call would have been intercepted and reported by the orcas, if not by the detection equipment on the ship.
