Andrew Bird's tenth album, 'Armchair Apocrypha' is another brilliant recording from the singer / songwriter / multi-instrumentalist, as he veers even further from the flock.
Andrew Bird is, unusually, a combination of songwriter, violinist, guitarist, Filled with layers of violin, glockenspiel, vocal harmonies, guitar, piano and the most amazing whistling, ['Armchair Apocrypha'] is the latest from Chicago-born Andrew Bird.
Primarily a violinist, Andrew Bird has pioneered his own distinct sound as an eclectic instrumentalist and songwriter & created this melancholy collage of gentle pop songs
"On 'Apocrypha...' Bird may be simultaneously at his most clever and most luminous”
- Paste Magazine
"A record dotted with peaks”
- Uncut
"This stream-of-consciousness head trip blends tricky, delicious melodies and slippery lyrics, yet never lapses into annoyingly smug artiness”
- Spin
"['Armchair Apocrypha'] is ultimately another object of strange and unique beauty from this inventive songwriter and performer”
- Pitchfork
"Seemingly simple elements - plucked violin, shuffling snare drums, chiming guitars, plinky piano, his spooky croon and magisterial whistle - build into one heady, slippery whole”
- Rolling Stone
