Noble Beast (LP) [Vinyl] by Andrew tendance Bird NEUF

Professional Reviews: Rolling Stone (p.67) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[I]ts Birds impressionistic lyrics that carry the emotional payload. Nomenclature is a sweet ballad that explodes unexpectedly."

Spin (p.94) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "With his SAT-acing vocabulary, Bird still rocks some of the best rhymes in the game....Birds phlegmatic voice has a way of softening tragedies and soothing beasts -- natural, noble, or otherwise."

Alternative Press (p.103) - 4.5 stars out of 5 -- "Debut single Oh No combines gently picked acoustic guitar, delicate beats and Birds signature whistling to create a lush soundscape for the musicians literary lyrics to play upon."

Q (Magazine) (p.100) - 4 stars out of 5 -- [T]he unhurried Natural Disaster is as elegiac as pop music can be and, once it gets going, The Privateers is proof that he can do thumping pop too."

Mojo (Publisher) (p.109) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "His trademark whistling and twilight violin lend a blissful sense of romantic resignation to the folky Masterswarm and the gypsy-tinged Tenuousness..."

Blender (Magazine) (p.62) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "This beast takes care and feeding, but its purring tongue has hints to drop about our changing times."

Paste (magazine) (p.50) - "Here, Birds arrangements are uncharacteristically subtle. Trademark orchestral swells take the backburner to confident vocals, easy melodies, guitar plucking and -- yes -- freakishly good whistling."

Clash (Magazine) (p.93) - "Andrew Birds latest offering plays out like a weird dream sequence. The multi-instrumentalist uses his skill to great effect..."
