Andrew Bird

I just have time for a quick recommendation day before it's off to work, and today's artist is another personal favorite. Andrew Bird is a dark and intelligent lyricist with an affinity for orchestral instruments and sweeping crescendos. The main theme here is elegance, soaring from simple guitar riffs to complex multi-instrumental arrangements. His voice on it's own would be nothing to write home (or a blog) about, but set against the beautifully textured backgrounds it gets his point across while still managing to melt into the song as a whole.


Personal Favorites: Opposite Day, Heretics, Fake Palindromes
