Andrew Bird - Soldier On [EP]
2008-04-06 16:40:00 The outtakes, demos, alternate mixes from his European tour together with a cover of Bob Dylan’s “Oh Sister†are what Andrew Bird’s Soldier On EP is about. The professional whistler has proven his acoustic abilities once more and any Andrew Bird fan is aware of his sophisticated mind. Even when it comes to a simple acoustic tune like “The Water Jet Ciliceâ€, he cannot avoid himself in shifting a three minute song vocally all around. That’s where his songwriting becomes signature. The man refuses to write a simple song. I prefer this EP to his earlier 2007 work Armchair Apocrypha for its tunefulness. EPs are great places to put all your junks in and sell it to poor fans and Bird is well aware of that and that’s why we see a remix of “Plasticities†and an early version of “Heretics†both dug out from Armchair. And if you skip these two such-a-bores and don’t feel like wasting your time on an instrumental so-what like “Sectionate Cityâ€, Soldier On is a 5 pi...

Song Surgery: "A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left" by Andrew Bird
2008-02-09 13:50:00 Andrew Bird is a complicated guy, a professional whistler and a weird yet powerful alternative songwriter. “Andrew Bird & the Mysterious Production of Eggs†is definitely Bird’s best work to date. Here, I’m not trying to focus on the album as a whole; it’s only this 3rd track that grabs the quick attention of every listener with some musical and English knowledge. “A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left†lyrically has mixed concepts involved. I read almost 130 opinions reflected by fans, some of them very useful indeed. So what I did was to check for every unknown word in it at first and then try to figure out what is the general idea behind this mysterious song. I also translated the whole song to Farsi. I took the lyrics apart to three different pieces. It looks like a David Lynch movie to me: although you grab some clues and try to put it together, there’s always a missing piece. The general theme of the song according to different people can be drug abu...

Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha Download Link
2007-10-25 05:52:00 Amazon.comStrip away the music of an Andrew Bird song, and you're left with brilliant prose ("across the great chasms and schisms and the sudden aneurysms"), vignettes about mentally fending off plane crashes, infiltrating characters like the kings of Macedonia and Lou Dobbs, and titles such as "Yawny at the Apocalyspe." It's hard to believe that, really, his music reigns, but when Bird adds understated acoustic guitars, Wurlitzer and Rhodes, and his own mesmerizing pizzicato violin, his songs take on a progressive mood all their own. The Chicago Bird's tenth album (and his debut for extraordinary Mississippi blues label Fat Possum) is perhaps his most diverse, expansive, and resourceful yet, catering to a half-dozen genres of music while exploring storylines that are naïve ("Dark Matter"), candid ("Fiery Crash"), and blatantly comical ("Armchairs"). Making no palpable effort to crack the conventional with overflowing melodies and love songs, Bird instead latches up the intellect...

Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha
2007-09-10 08:00:00 The Web Pen team has collectively decided to add a new feature (and by team I mean myself after friends continued to nag me) which shall be henceforth be known as Monday Musical Measure. It’s a pun. Mondays — as often as possible — will be set aside for music reviews since the aforementioned nags think that music is a specialty of mine. The first feature chosen is the album with the best chance of ending up at my favorite of the year. Andrew Bird Armchair Apocrypha (Fat Possum Records) Much like Sujfan Stevens, Andrew Bird has spent his career carving out his own little niche of unique folk/pop music. The mix of violin, whistling, intelligent phrasing and melodies that cuddle up to you like a warm lover are his speciality. Bird’s music is the out-of-town visitor that incites excitement at arriving but never overstays its welcome. His latest, Armchair Apocrypha, is the culmination of building his confidence and is his strongest album to date. Bird started o...

Hideout Block Party Day 2: Andrew Bird - Fake Palindromes (live video)
2007-09-09 06:10:00 Day 2 at Hideout was great, even for the little bit that I got to enjoy (and in spite of Michigan getting crushed). True to form, I arrived late, delayed by tennis and college football. The Wolverines have gone from bad to dreadful; it was so painful to watch them. And I missed Dan Deacon and Art Brut to watch them have their asses handed to them. Stupid, stupid. Anyhoo, back to the main

Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha
2007-06-20 18:36:00 Issued in 2007, ‘Armchair Apocrypha’ marks a period of change for indie-pop vocalist/violinist Andrew Bird, as it’s his first solo album without longtime collaborators Kevin O’Connell and Nora O’Connor. Recorded by the Chicago-based performer in Minneapolis with a cadre of local musicians, most notably multi-instrumentalist Martin Dosh, ‘Armchair Apocrypha’ furthers Bird’s inventive, genre-melding aesthetic, with ...

Armchair Apocrypha - Andrew Bird - Why?
2007-03-23 14:10:00 Andrew Bird has released a very special album this year: Armchair Apocrypha. The blog Salad Days Music writes about him: Chicago-based multi-instrumentalist and lyricist Andrew Bird made quite a splash at SXSW. He was one of the artists I truly regret not seeing.Strange and special is the word. Oh yeah. For me it is that sort of music I cant listen to every day, it is music that demands my total concentration. Andra bloggar om: Andrew Bird, Armchair Apocrypha, Why, video, music

Of course Bird was always an ambitious musician, it’s just that this time he has decorated his compositions with nightime radio friendly melodies. He is classically trained and much of his output is laced with innovative string

2007-02-11 05:39:02 Download Andrew Bird - LullDownload Andrew Bird - A Nervous Tic Motion Of The Head To The LeftDownload Andrew Bird - HereticsAndrew Bird is one talented musician. He isn’t just your normal poptart, he is not only is a great singer/songwriter, but he also plays violin! Bird was formally trained in suzuki, and attended Northwestern for violin performance. This training makes his songs amazing, he usually infuses some strings into his music, giving him a sort of Sufjan Stevens sound (Bird is even from Chicago [wink]). His new album Armchair Apocrypha, due March 20th, is a must buy. The single off of this new album is Heretics, and it is a-mazing!! Most of you prob don’t know who Andrew Bird is, so I am also including some tracks off of his old albums. Buy This CD Bookmark to:

El gran regreso de Andrew Bird
2007-02-06 00:05:00 Andrew Bird ha ido subiendo la escalera de su carrera musical con paso lento pero seguro. Cada álbum viene siendo mejor que el anterior (y lleva unos cuantos) y ya alcanzó grandes cotas en ?Weather Systems? y sobre todo en ?The mysterious production of eggs?. Con este disco el reconocimiento comenzó a llegarle, y su estilo algo heterogéneo y cerrado de sus principios ha ido convergiendo en unas canciones cada vez más brillantes, más personales, de una destreza melódica a la altura (y puede que por encima) de muchos compañeros de generación como Sufjan Stevens, Josh Rouse o Devendra Banhart.El nuevo disco del trovador-violinista-compositor--guitarrista de Chicago, ?Armchair apocrypha?, es todo un prodigio de sensibilidad y talento. Afina al máximo en su habilidad para pulsar de forma sencilla y preciosista la tecla de la emoción, consigue a lo largo de todo el disco condensar esa magia que hace que durante los casi 50 minutos de su duración todo sea un suspiro, todo genere deseos de n...
