Andrew Bird: Break It Yourself Review



Returning to the quaint, eerily melodic sound of his classic The Mysterious Production Of Eggs, Andrew Bird delivers a breathtaking beauty of an album on his latest. The plucky violin strings dancing through his quivering vocals on the opening "Desperation Breeds" is a mellow-cool introduction that gracefully opens the door for some of the finest tunes you will hear this year. From the witty, memory-questioning bliss of "Lazy Projector" to the charming shuffle of "Eyeoneye" and deliciously shifty "Give It Away", like all great albums, your favorite track is likely to change with each passing listen as you uncover new elements in the gorgeous tapestry. The dreamy shuffle of celebratory "Near Death Experience Experience" is a perfect microcosm of the album's charms, delivering some of the most ear-catching melodies and best casually crooned wit of the set. Consider this jaw-dropper a must-own for any indie loving listener.
