I've been listening to Andrew Bird's Armchair Apocrypha to get myself excited for his upcoming sophomore album, Noble Beast (due January 27). If the recently released track, "Oh No," is any indication, it's sure to be another great record. Anyway, Bird sets off on a medium sized tour immediately after the release of the album, [...]

A read through of Noble Beast's lyric sheet isn't only intimidating, it's damn near impenetrable. A listen to the music, though, and there's no hint of the bookish opacity that the lyrics would suggest. Instead, Bird is remarkably adept at creating wistful soundscapes with breezy melodies to match. Handclaps, violin and Bird's trademark whistling all make Noble Beast feel rather warm and inviti...
In my boredom tonight, I randomly came across a new Andrew Bird song from his upcoming album Noble Beast , which is going to be released January 2009 on Fat Possum. It's called "Oh No" and it's pretty good. And since I know the majority of you are Andrew Bird fans, I just had to share it. After you're done listening to it, head over to Andrew Bird's music blog over at the NY Times. Yeah, ...
Lately, we've been doing quite a bit of Andrew Bird watching. There's the studio version of "Oh No " from the forthcoming Noble Beast , but also a number of live Bird songs (including "Oh No") floating around out there. After Bird's recent show at the Hiro Ballroom in NYC, we can add a couple more tracks to the flock. You've likely heard one before ("Masterswarm"), but there are some Noble Beas...
If you recall, Owen Pallett told us Andrew Bird handled the whistling in the St. Kitts Orchestra on his forthcoming Plays To Please EP. "Oh No" offers some whistling, too, but this time Andrew's front and center. Not too long ago we heard some liv...
God only knows how many “Oh No” puns I could use here, but I’m taking the halfway cheap way out and only alluding to their ranks. “Oh No” is the first track off Bird’s Noble Beast, which is due out January 29th on Fat Possum. Each record of his seems to have very strong production [...]

Being that I was without my computer for almost all of 2008, its been quite freeing to rebuild my mp3 collection, and discover new artists in the process. It's been so long since I've been completely obsessed with a new song and artist so much, but Andrew Bird definitely fits that bill. He might not be a new artist to some, but for me he's been an amazing recent discovery. I somehow complet...
Um, FINALLY, thanks. I love Andrew Bird. The first time I saw him I had no idea who he was, but he rhymed 'closeness' with 'mitosis,' was surrounded by phonographs painted with zebra stripes, and wore socks with toes - needless to say we fell in love immediately. Or would have. Had we met. Whatever. Dig [...]

SOTD 6.10.09 as seen on Betterpropaganda.comAndrew Bird: "Oh No"After the propulsion of emo/indie/rock during the Garden State soundtrack era, with bands like The Shins milking the tit of success until they were surrounded in soothing booty, seemingly tainting this genre for listeners as trendy and pop, Andrew Bird remained a hit on Pitchfork, but overlooked by most. "Oh No," is a sharp social ...
