Description
Strip away the music of Andrew Bird, and you’re left w/ poetic mastery (‘across chasms, schisms, aneurysms’), tales of surviving plane crashes, characters like kings and Lou Dobbs, and titles like ‘Yawny at the Apocalyspe.’ Yet with added acoustic guitars, Wurlitzer, Rhodes, & his own pizzicato violin, his songs adopt a peculiar, progressive feel. His 10th, debuting on blues label Fat Possum, is maybe his most diverse yet – spanning 6 genres & storylines that are raw (‘Dark Matter’), honest (‘Fiery Crash’), & playful (‘Armchairs’). No labored melody & love songs here – Bird connects intellect & delivers tiny bundles of literature that fuel thought & make you snap your fingers.
