Originally released as the 2nd disc on the limited deluxe edition of Andrew Bird’s acclaimed ‘Noble Beat’ album ‘Useless Creatures’ 9 tracks were just too good to be left on the shelf & so now they’re getting the treatment they deserve in the form of their own release.
PRESS: quotes for ‘Noble Beast’:
“Where Andrew Bird succeeds so fervently with Noble Beast is in endowing it a vital, quixotic sense of humanity” – Drowned In Sound.
“pure melodic charm” 4/5 - Mojo.
“There's a sense throughout that Bird's head is engaged in a battle with his heart, as if aware that there's a pop masterpiece squatting on the far horizons of his intuition” 4/5 – Uncut.
“He's never been quite so on top of his game or quite so blessed with melodic magic” 4/5 – Q.
“Here, he takes another leap, fusing Armchair's emotive indie rock with the chamber-music experimentalism of his early recordings” – Rolling Stone.
“Pop gems like "Oh No" and "Effigy" punctuate an eclectic landscape moving from cinematic strings to soft ballads and gypsy dub” – Guardian.
