Andrew Bird’s songwriting approach is seemingly paradoxical, at once highly improvisational and long-simmering, with material sometimes taking years to finally gel together. The results are familiar to anyone who’s followed his string of breezily baroque albums over the last decade, full of virtuosic and engaging interweavings of melodies and loops spun from violin, whistling, guitar, and Bird’s warbling tenor. While his songs are elegantly crafted and artfully arranged, he’s careful not to lose the sense that music is about creating a space to explore, to wander through, and maybe even get lost in. more at avclub.com
Andrew Bird is perhaps the most famous indie violin rocker in the scene today. That's not exactly saying much since it's pretty much a two man race between him and the guy from Final Fantasy. But fame aside, what Andrew Bird really is is really good. Talk about an imaginative artist. Bird does this interesting thing where he plucks and bows his violin, then immediately samples the results, layering sounds with guitars, whistles, glockenspiels and, of course, vocals. more at ohmyrockness.com
