MUSIC NEWS - Andrew Bird’s much-anticipated twelfth album, Break It Yourself, is confirmed for a March 6 release on Mom + Pop Records; (track listing below). Produced by the Chicago-based film score composer, multi-instrumentalist and lyricist Bird, the album was recorded at his barn in Western IL, near the banks of the Mississippi River. Break It Yourself follows Bird’s 2009 full length release Noble Beast, which was hailed as his “most instantly inviting album by far” by the Los Angeles Times.
Bird will celebrate the release of Break It Yourself with a North American tour that will kick off in Texas in mid-March (full itinerary below). Concert tickets are now available via major ticket outlets. All concert tickets are bundled with a unique musical package including a redemption code to download Break It Yourself upon release date.
