Bird is Back!

Oh man, I really am becoming such a huge fan of Andrew Bird. A friend of mine introduced me to him one day just sitting around building a bookshelf for Cami. I saw his cover art and was immediately intrigued. It turns out his music was just as amazing as his covers. I'm a huge lover of orchestral strings, so his music is near and dear to my heart. Armchair Apocrypha was a brilliant and beautiful album, and now Andrew Bird returns with his latest work, Noble Beast. Once again, with great album art, and brilliant music. A classic distinct voice, absolutely incredible violin string sections, and just happy melodic tunes. There are two real standout tracks on here. First off, any Radiohead fan, check out Not a robot, but a ghost. To me this experimental song is very obvious Bird is easily a big Kid A fan. This jam reminds me of total Thom Yorke sound. And then there's Anonanimal, which is gonna be what I say the best song I've heard this year so far. So please if you dig relaxed good indie rock, check the Bird.
