What their label says...

Recorded mainly in Minneapolis at Crazy Beast Studios (Ben Durrant) and Third Ear Studios (Tom Herbers) and mixed at the famed, haunted Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, the album sums up where Andrew Bird's career has taken him, yet is completely very much of his artistic present.  Supported by a cast of collaborators drawn from the surrounding music scene (drummer and keyboard player Martin Dosh, singer Haley Bonar, bassist Chris Morrissey, and multi-instrumentalist Jeremy Ylvisaker), Bird sings with humor and lightness the lyrical depth of his pocket masterpieces, adding to the mix his unnatural whistling ability and his unconventional manner of playing the violin.   From ‘Fiery Crash’, described by his author as a superstitious incantation to protect him from plane crashes to the final notes of ‘Yawny At The Apocalypse’, varied and stunning musical tapestries embellished with lyrical vignettes and musings that veer fluidly from almost childlike innocence to seasoned, darkly comic wit, with brilliant and unexpected twists at every turn
