just discovered andrew today after his collab with pheobe bridgers......... this stuff is so easy to listen to... soothing, heartwrenching, driving, groovin, such contemplation and conviction. sonically and poetically masterful. instant fan 💛💛💛
Bird reminds me of Byrne insofar as his lyrics and his sentiment on a occasion... and others, no matter really he's one of kind and anyone he may resemble is simply a bonus!
I've never heard Bird play with a drummer who's drum set sounds so "pop." Specifically on the song Plasticities. I'm not talking about how he's playing, but the sound of the drums sort of remind me of Carter Beauford. On the contrary they don't sound Indie/Messy/Folksie/etc.
I'm so glad I found Andrew Bird on pandora.com's Casiotone for the Painfully Alone channel. Saw him in concert last year. He & his band were so awesome. It was one of my favorite concerts & I've seen a lot of greats..
I was there. People wouldn’t shut up. They were just talking over it. Same thing w damien rice. So if you see people looking kind of bored it could also be they were just very annoyed with the people behind them who were talking.
