Forget the violin. Forget the classical background. As troubadour Andrew Bird puts it, “At this point the violin just happens to be the instrument I have on hand to make the sounds that I hear. I like to abuse it and pull as many sounds out of it as I can.” Bird is a masterful and intuitive singer / songwriter, and what he does while performing—alternately plucking and bowing his violin, then immediately sampling the results, layering the sounds with guitar, whistling, glockenspiel and vocals—bears little resemblance to what most people might expect.
It’s only one of several devices in his arsenal of instruments, melodies, and imaginative wordplay.

The Swimming Hour is pretty cool in its own way, but the skill level of the instruments on the other two albums are incompatible. They are on an entire other level.

I remember when I first heard the Bowl of Fire. I was so excited by the sounds that I was trawling the internet to find something similar to listen to & was pretty disappointed when I couldn't find anything. Looking back on it now, it really highlights the genius of Andrew Bird to pull all that crazy stuff off. A musical feat that is hard to match.
