I'm never less than dazzled by Andrew Bird's work. "The Mysterious Production of Eggs" was one of 2005's best, and last year's "Armchair Apocrypha" was another stunner. Combine Bird's infectious whistling with his intricate violin skill and you've got some of the most catchy folk/pop music on the market today. His sprawling discography is so well-rounded that I'm starting to wonder whether he will ever put out a bad record (he and his "Bowl of Fire" never did). And it seems that "Noble Beast," which will hit shelves January 09 will be no exception. I, for one, can't wait.
The first track, Oh No, is classic Bird; a little more rhythmic this time around. Pitchfork's Forkcast is currently streaming the song HERE.
