Andrew Bird to release "old-time" reinterpretations of his songs in effort to become slightly more precious
Prolific whistler Andrew Bird will release Hands Of Glory on Oct. 30. According to press materials, the new record is a companion piece to his last record, Break It Yourself, and features “old-time” reinterpretations of his own songs, as well as covers of country tunes by the Carter Family, The Handsome Family, and Minneapolis band Alpha Consumer. All the songs were recorded with Bird and his crew playing to a single microphone, just like in old-time radio studios and precious recreations of those studios.
