Andrew Bird is a man of constant surprise. The instant some hapless journalist on a deadline attempts to pigeonhole him in any kind of tidy, one-dimensional category, he changes direction and creates new music that defies the de_scription. He's been tagged at various points in his career as a neo-traditionalist, a maverick experimenter, a Beatlesque pop/psychedelic revivalist, and a creator of ambient soundscapes, among other things. But none of those catchphrases does justice to the full span of his musical vocabulary. The simple truth is this: Andrew Bird creates sounds on his own terms, and as far-ranging as his various incarnations may appear, they are remarkably consistent when it comes to clarity of purpose, craftsmanship, wit, and sheer audience appeal. Whether his subject matter is love, loneliness, or topics a little more slippery, a typical Bird song (if there is any such thing) demands your attention from the first moment you hear it, and rewards you with sheer sonic bliss.

Steve April	3/8/2017 5:27:58 PM Welcome to IAC/IMP... Heard'n added "a nervous tic motion of the head to the left", mysterioso vibe, the pizzicata strings, cello, and wierd chemical combinations, "by all accounts u really should have died," whistles, symphonic touches, this song's wildly unpredictable, and delicious... Cheers...
