Andrew Bird continues to bring listeners on an exquisite melodic journey with his latest release on Fat Possum, Armchair Apocrypha. Already receiving rave reviews for its mesmerizing orchestrations and brilliant prose, Armchair is the perfect follow-up to the majestic beauty of The Mysterious Production of Eggs.

From the opening track, "Fiery Crash," in which Bird describes a superstitious incantation to protect him from plane crashes ("just a nod to mortality before you get on the plane"), to "Heretics" and "Plasticities" sung with humor and lightness that belie their lyrical depths, through to the final notes of "Yawny At The Apocalypse," Bird treats us to varied and stunning musical tapestries. The album is filled with poetic vignettes and musings that move seamlessly from almost childlike innocence to seasoned, darkly comic wit, with unexpected twists at every turn.
