tuneage : everyone deserves good music

Andrew Bird - “Heretics”

Violins, guitars, glockenspiel, whistling…Andrew Bird is able to take this amalgam of instruments and use it to create wonderful indie music. As the former leader of the Squirrel Nut Zippers, Bird has managed to find a sound all his own.

One of the most compelling aspects of Andrew Bird’s body of work is his ability to recreate it in a live setting. Using loops and effects and any other technology available, he allows you to watch the songs develop right in front of you.

This song is off of his most recent album, Armchair Apocrypha which, while not as solid as his former releases (Weather Systems and The Mysterious Production of Eggs), still helps to solidify Andrew Bird’s spot as one of the best indie artists creating music today.
