Andrew Bird Artist Snapshot:

Multi-talented and classically trained violinist/vocalist/songwriter Andrew Bird began releasing albums in the late 1990s under the name Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire. While Bird's music looked to a diverse array of styles (including early American jazz, pop, and roots forms), he brought a decidedly avant-garde touch to the proceedings, one best displayed by the dazzling multi-layered sampling/delay techniques he utilized live. Bird's first album for the Fat Possum label, 2007's ARMCHAIR APOCRYPHA (his third proper studio album under just his own name), marked a shift toward a slightly more accessible but no less arresting sound.

Review

Entertainment Weekly (No. 806, p.63) - "[Bird] offers a shapely, mesmerizing CD as inventive as it is rooted in musical lore..." - Grade: B+
Magnet (p.85) - "Bird's lilting melodies and complex arrangements have become ever more nimble, as plucked violin, guitar, glockenspiel and whistling take jazz-like turns in the spotlight."
Dirty Linen (p.59) - "He uses pedals to layer the sounds and repeat motifs, and the result is a carefully constructed sonic collage."

Title Note

On THE MYSTERIOUS PRODUCTION OF EGGS, Andrew Bird's second studio outing for Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe label, the classically trained violinist presents another set of charmingly quirky chamber-pop. Easily one of Bird's most spare and stripped-down albums, EGGS find the Chicago-based singer-songwriter handling many of the instrumental duties, resulting in an intimate and often hypnotic atmosphere, as best evinced on the woozy "Measuring Cups" and the mesmerizing, Beatlesque "Opposite Day." (Bird also shows off his wonderful whistling talents on "A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left" and "Masterfade.") Though diehard fans swear by all of Bird's records, THE MYSTERIOUS PRODUCTION OF EGGS stands out as a top-tier offering by this unique and inventive artist.
