Fake Palíndromes – Andrew Bird
2006 Mar 01 • cotidiano
Versed in a wealth of forms (from swing to Appalachian folk) and instruments (from the violin to the glockenspiel), Bird offers a shapely, mesmerizing CD as inventive as it is rooted in musical lore. “A Nervous Tic Motion of the Head to the Left,” for example, lays country whimsy and a touch of rock on a lush bed of strings. It’s just one of the highlights of Eggs, which peaks again and again, each time distinctly astounding or just plain beautiful.
