My first introduction with Andrew Bird came when he signed to Ani Difranco's Righteous Babe Records in 2003. Since then, he and his incredible whistling lips have crossed through many different stages, much like his music prior to 2003. Little did I know, he played on three Squirrel Nut Zippers records from 1996 to 1998.
Coming from classical and jazz roots, Bird has veritably become an icon in the indie rock realm. On Noble Beast he has continued to explore techniques of layering sounds to create his music - and he has done so successfully. While not his best album to date, Noble Beast is still quite an enjoyable listen.
