My Finest Work Yet, Andrew Bird's twelfth solo studio album, came out on Loma Vista Recordings in March 2019, and the title is as dry a joke as he's ever told. Behind the wink sits his first openly political record, taking on a poisoned public mood, climate change and the apathy that lets both fester.
The sound is classic Bird: violin plucked, bowed and looped into shimmering layers, a whistle floating over the top, and a voice that stays calm while the songs worry. "Sisyphus" rolls its boulder with a wry smile, and "Bloodless" broods over a divided country. It earned a nomination for Best Folk Album at the 2020 Grammys.
