Andrew Bird Provides Hope

Walking around the CNE grounds on a cold, wet night is kind of like being lost in a dystopian future. It's dark, no one's around and grey concrete surrounds you. Andrew Bird's show at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre was like a small beacon of hope in the middle of hell. Despite stylistic differences in their music, openers A Hawk And A Hacksaw were...

Andrew Bird — Noble Beast

in
By Chris Burland (CHARTattack) February 18, 2009 3:31 pm
While Andrew Bird created the achingly haunting musical accompaniments that accentuated some of the darker images painted by his lyrics on his last two albums, 2005's The Mysterious Production Of Eggs and 2007's brilliant Armchair Apocrypha, the overall tone of Noble Beast is generally free of his dark despair. It instead radiates a sense of hope...

If you're staging a two-day festival that welcomes music fans from all over into the heart of Vancouver's gorgeous Stanley Park, you want Nardwuar The Human Serviette greeting them.

in
By Marc Boudignon (CHARTattack) February 8, 2005 8:53 am
On Andrew Bird’s last disc, Bowl Of Fire, the songwriter couldn’t help but genre hop. With his latest effort, The Mysterious Production Of Eggs, he settles down and focuses his exceptional violin skills on the status quo, instead of 1950’s neo-crooner ballads, we get beat production and digital accents. "Tables And Chairs," his rousing...

Andrew Bird - “Eyeoneye” Two weeks ago, we announced that Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist Andrew Bird was set to release his sixth album, Break It Yourself, on March 6. Now we have the first taste of what the album will sound like with "Eyeoneye." The track has some surprisingly rockin' drums, but Bird still keeps it real with his...

By Simone Zucker (CHARTattack) January 9, 2012 3:30 pm
Acclaimed violinist, whistler, and all-around multi-instrumentalist, Andrew Bird, is returning with his sixth solo album, Break it Yourself. The 14-track record will be released through Mom + Pop Music on March 6. In my opinion, Bird can do no wrong.
