"Bloodless" led the way for My Finest Work Yet, Andrew Bird's twelfth solo album, released in March 2019, and it announced the record's turn: this was his first openly political album, chewing on political division, climate change and apathy. Bird wrote it, words and music, in the stretch between the 2016 election and Charlottesville, trying, as he put it, to step back, take in everything happening and see the death spiral we'd got ourselves caught in.
The album's title started life as a working title and a private joke, and its cover, shot by creative director Amanda Demme, restages Jacques-Louis David's 1793 painting The Death of Marat.
