This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for the brilliant artistry and musical genius of Andrew Bird. On November 12th he released new EP I Want to See Pulaski at Night, which is primarily instrumental save for the title track. Pitchfork describes “Pulaski at Night” as Bird at his best: “tightly crafted, lyrically witty, understated yet sophisticated” – and “stalwartly Romantic.” True, true.
A. Bird has a handful of tour dates coming up in December listed below, including a stop in Brooklyn. And how they’re not already sold out, I don’t know.
Half empty, half full

That’s great – thanks for sharing. I was only aware of him via his sometime collaborations with Tift Merritt but will definitely investigate further. Enjoy Thanksgiving.
Interesting, he’s actually touring with Tift Merritt on some of his upcoming performances. Highly recommend him. And hope you had a nice Tgiving as well : )
