The new Andrew Bird album is wiedermal very good. It can be found, although no hits on "Noble Beast", but maybe it makes it also just so appealing. It fell almost all the songs are denoch single out "Oh No", "Fitz And The Dizzy Spells", "Not A Robot, But A Ghost" and my favorite "The Privateers" which revels as the complete album in sublime beauty. The melodies are not very catchy, but there is much to discover. Especially with repeated listening the sonority, love for detail and subtlety Andrew Birds is visible. The lyrics are as always fairly top-heavy, spun and one might almost say intellectually, which can of course be interpreted negatively, as the album thus is still bulky. But whoever gets involved it will surprise you with a detail-love, creative language, offered insight into the cosmos of this versatile multi-instrumentalist. "Noble Beast" is a quiet unassuming little gem that deserves more attention in any case. Check it!
