The Mysterious Production of Eggs, released on Righteous Babe Records on February 8, 2005, is Andrew Bird's third solo studio album and his second since his swing ensemble Bowl of Fire folded. It picks up the thread of Weather Systems and pulls it further; "Skin Is, My" even grows out of an older Bird song, "Skin".
This is baroque pop spun by one very busy man, built from his trademark tools: violin plucked, bowed and looped back on itself, whistling that floats over the top, and songs that twist and fold like the word games in their titles, "Fake Palindromes" among them. It's clever without being cold. Jay Ryan drew the cover art and the illustrations for each track in the booklet, and they suit the record's odd, handmade charm.
