Sound: Lightly orchestral pop/folk with lazy crooning, complex compositions and an occasional need to rock
Playlist Partners: Rufus Wainwright (but less orchestrated, theatrical and flamboyant), Sondre Lerche (but more experimental and less wussy), M. Ward (but not as dark)
Notes: Andrew played violin on Squirrel Nut Zippers albums and has released albums as Andrew Bird’s Bowl of Fire and simply as Andrew Bird
Heavy Rotation tracks: “Skin Is, My“; “Fake Palindromes“; “Measuring Cups“
Medium Rotation tracks: “Masterfade“; “Opposite Day“
Recommended: To anyone who appreciates a solid songwriter, musician
and composer who challenges you.
Grade: A- (Top 20 Albums of 2005 candidate)
