What we're listening to. . .


Noble Beast by Andrew Bird: The one word that comes to mind when I think of this album is "pretty." Now, just hear me out. Sometimes what makes an album good are the lyrics, and sometimes it is the overall sound and arrangement. (Sometimes both-- then you know you're on to something really good.) In this case, for me, it is the gorgeous sounds Bird creates throughout the disc; he plays the violin and whistles on several tracks. A couple of my favorites include "Fitz and Dizzyspells" and "Anonanimal." See if you agree.

Find it in the catalog!
