Are You Serious, Andrew Bird's tenth solo studio album, came out on Loma Vista on April 1, 2016, and it's the sound of a songwriter who no longer feels the need to speak in code. Bird has said getting married changed the way he wrote: when the person you love is sitting right there in the room, there's less reason to hide what you mean, and these songs come out plainer and warmer for it.

He announced the record after playing "Capsized" on Conan, and that twitchy, strutting single is the one that reached the countdowns. Blake Mills turns up, and so does Fiona Apple, Bird's first choice for the single "Left Handed Kisses", reached through mutual friends and recorded, by his account, over a long night with plenty of whiskey.
