Critically acclaimed composer, singer and violinist Andrew Bird quietly soars to new heights with his first Righteous Babe release. This lush, gorgeous collection of 7 original songs, his own adaptation of a Galway Kinnell poem, and a Handsome Family cover showcases Bird's gift for conveying subtle emotional states through music. In addition to his signature violin (which he often plays like a guitar), the virtuoso instrumentalist employs glockenspiel, organ, whistling, and tape loops to set the scene for the intimate, haunting stories he tells through his lyrics. Bowl of Fire bandmates Kevin O'Donnell (drums, percussion, glockenspiel) and Nora O'Connor (vocals, guitar) accompany Bird, and producer Mark Nevers (Lambchop, Will Oldham) crafts a stunning, almost orchestral setting for the recording. Also included on the disc is an 8-minute Quicktime film on the making of the record by director Robert Trondson.
