Andrew Bird reveals information on forthcoming album

I'm hear to tell you that today's most exciting music news may not be the reformation of At The Drive In. Although I suppose it may be. The website Beats Per Minute posted this afternoon a sneaky sneak-peak in to the new Andrew Bird record, Break It Yourself, which is due out on March 6th.

The post includes album artwork, a full 14 song track list and a short teaser trailer of Andrew Bird playing one of the new tracks at his barn in Illinois, whist sitting on the stairs like the casual cat he is. The post goes on to quote Bird as he speaks about the rough and rustic recording of the record:

"We rolled tape as we were learning the songs and to our surprise we started nailing the songs by the second take. I think we got a rough, unfussy honesty in this session." Bird sums up the sessions by describing them as a "mix of distilled, grounded songs and some wild soloing."


Sounds great from here! Thanks to Beats Per Minute and Paste Magazine for the original feature.
