The lead single off Andrew Bird’s 7th solo studio record, Break It Yourself, is here with a few nods to “Wall of Sound” production (via his Mississippi River-side barn), a trademark avian whistle solo, and rousing arrangement that builds on the promise of live previews we’ve heard from the March 6 set. Give “Eyeoneye” a spin above, while copies can be pre-ordered or picked up in exchange for concert tickets over on his site.
“Night Sky,” Andrew Bird’s post-Noble Beast live favorite (formerly known on Fingerlings 4 as “The Sifters”), finally got the studio treatment via Norman, a coming-of-age film hitting theaters this month that boasts an original score by Bird along with contributions from Wolf Parade, Chad VanGaalen, and Richard Swift. As of today, the entire OST is streaming here — complete with beautifully arranged instrumentals and a few vocal tunes, such as “Arcs and Coulombs” and the aforementioned standout cut featured above.
