Rennie Sparks, the band’s lyricist and singer, responds in the album’s liner notes, saying, “Listening to Andrews perform our songs feels like suddenly spotting a new and shining doorway in the middle of a room I have spent my entire life in.

Break It Yourself (2011–2015) edit

Bird joined Mom Pop Music as a record label in late 2011. Andrew Birds’ debut release on the label was the soundtrack to the movie Norman, which featured both his own compositions and other musicians’ songs. [24] Rather than assembling a collection of the movie’s soundtrack tracks, Bird arranged the soundtrack to flow as a stand-alone album. [24] Peymon Maskan, the film’s music supervisor, said to HitQuarters, “The best compliment I’ve heard is that you can imagine the movie by listening to the soundtrack without having seen it.” The sequence is a big part of that effect. “[24].

Break it Yourself, Bird’s new album, was announced on December 6th. It is the follow-up to 2009’s Noble Beast. [25].

A feature-length concert documentary on Birds’ year-long tour, “Andrew Bird: Fever Year,” made its world premiere at Lincoln Center in 2011 alongside the esteemed New York Film Festival. After being screened in more than 90 international festivals and taking home nine awards, the film’s festival-only run came to an end in 2013. “Fever Year” shows Bird and his group in the latter stages of a tour that he supposedly had a persistent fever during. Director Xan Aranda[26] responded to a question about the DVD release on her website by saying that since Bird commissioned the movie and owns the rights to it, he will decide whether or not it is released. In addition, Martin Dosh, Michael Lewis, Jeremy Ylvisaker, and St from Andrew Bird: Fever Year Vincent (Annie Clark).

Bird revealed Hands Of Glory, a follow-up EP to Break it Yourself, in September 2012. [27] The album was released on October 30.

The Orange Is the New Black episode from the second season premiered in 2014 and included the song “Pulaski at Night” by Andrew Birds. [28] Paolo Sorrentino’s The Young Pope debuted with a segment titled “Pulaski at Night.”

Things Are Really Great Here, Sort Of, which features covers of The Handsome Family and Birds’ debut album but lacks any of Andrew Bird’s original songs, was released on June 10, 2014. [29].
