Hey Facepunch! I decided that i would make another thread about one of my favorite musicians.

Andrew Bird is a multi-instrumentalist singer songwriter and arguably one of the best of our time. He has an awesome and unique style that i quickly fell in love with. Plus, he's a motherfuckin' professional whistler and his last name is bird (coincidence? i think not). This guy seriously just screams awesome.
He's also played for a shitload of bands in the studio and live including his other band apart from his solo career Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire and others such as: Squirrel Nut Zippers (also one of my favorite bands), the Handsome Family, Kiltartan Road, Devil in a Woodpile, and many many more!
Here's his official website:

I hope you guys like him! Thanks again!
Had never heard of them before you posted this but from listening to him for a bit he is pretty good. Loving his style
I'm glad you like him. I also highly recommend Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire if you enjoy his solo stuff. I just updated the OP a bit with a song from his Bowl of Fire project and added all the albums from it.
I'd hafta say "Fiery Crash" has always been my favorite song of his.
Oooh, I should probably go get Noble Beast. Sounds better than Armchair Apocrypha.
(Patrick Wolf and Andrew Bird should join forces)
Noble Beast is better than Armchair Apocrypha, in my opinion, Armchair has a lot of good individual songs but Noble Beast is a better record as a whole.
