for "The Mysterious Production of Eggs"

"As one of the most talented artists of this generation...
This show cannot be missed." - HoneyWired
Mr. Bird releases his first studio album in nearly two years, The Mysterious Production of Eggs, on Righteous Babe Records in the US and Fargo records in Europe. The album follows Weather Systems, his mini-LP, released in 2002 / 2003.
The recording sessions for Eggs saw Bird scrap the album three times and travel between studios in Chicago, Los Angeles and his own home studio on a farm in Northern Illinois. The album took final shape with the production help of David Boucher whose credits include Randy Newman and Paul Westerberg.
The record deals with nothing less than the mysteries of childhood, creativity and modern science - epic in scope and minute in detail. It is accompanied by artwork and illustrations for every song by accomplished Chicago based artist Jay Ryan. Equally unusual is Bird’s solo live show at which, with the aid of a sampling pedal, the songwriter takes his often dense, orchestrated recordings and rewrites them anew each night, adding layers of fiddle, electric guitar, and glockenspiel to his vocals and whistling. Bird has toured extensively over the past year throughout the US and Europe with kindred spirits the Magnetic Fields, My Morning Jacket, Lambchop and Ani DiFranco.
