"I think My Finest Work Yet is my finest work yet."
"Deserving of its own streaming platform."
"A swashbuckling romp!"
The artist himself provides a host of praise and commentary for the humbly titled My Finest Work Yet, which follows Andrew Bird's 2016 release Are You Serious. With these words, Bird sets up his release with humour and irreverence, which may also tip a hat to the spontaneity of the recording process.
My Finest Work Yet was recorded live to tape at Barefoot Studios in Los Angeles, CA. Produced by Paul Butler, Bird and the band went for a Rudy Van Gelder jazz room sound where the instruments bleed into all the mics in just the right way. Piano plays a strong role on these songs and most of the melodies are tinged with a gospel-jazz-60s soul feel while the lyrics are direct and risk-taking, cutting to the quick of what’s happening in our world.
