DFTD’s Top Albums of 2009: Andrew Bird’s Noble Beast
Andrew Bird and his signature whistling came back with a bang in 2009. Bird is one of those artists that one can easily “over listen” to, I know I over listened to Mysterious Production of Eggs (Matt, you may recall, that album was the subject of one of our first conversations at that awful place we used to work at together, no offense to present company). Bird’s music is both complex and yet very accessible, as always offering up magical and riveting songs. Some may find his lyrics to be “elitist”, as if listening to a history or biology professor or a meteorologist.
Beast is Bird’s 5th full length solo album and in my opinion his second best following Mysterious Production. Please enjoy this catchy tune.
