Andrew Bird has been producing excellent albums for a number of years now. His previous album (The Mysterious Production of Eggs) was so good that I doubted that he could ever produce one that was better. In my opinion, Armchair Apocrypha is better because of its fuller sound, which gives Bird the broader canvas with which to work. This is a highly recommended listen for anyone unfamilar with this intelligent and talented (classically trained) artist. Standout tracks include: "Sythian Empire", "Heretics", "Plasctcities" and "Fiery Crash". Mr. Bird has been appearing on stage with Wilco on their latest tour. Another encouraging sign!
