Andrew Bird, "Noble Beast": Article and First Listen

Andrew Bird is one of my favorite musicians and is one of the artists I respect the most. He writes and creates music that is at the same time original, lush, catchy, and creative. He has a trademark that separates him from other artists, whistling (which he is incredible at). His last few albums have been among my favorites and I am greatly anticipating the release of his newest album, "Noble Beast", on Jan. 20th. Check the links below to read an article about Bird and to stream the new album.
