ANDREW BIRD - BREAK IT YOURSELF (LIMITED EDITION 2LP + CD + DVD)

Andrew Bird Break It Yourself on 2LP + CD + DVD

Deluxe 2LP/CD/DVD Set in a Collectible Vinyl Box Limited to 250 Copies!

Break It Yourself is the highly anticipated follow-up release to Andrew Bird's 2009 album Noble Beast. Produced at his own Western Illinois barn-turned-studio, the sessions for the album featured a mix of distilled, grounded songs and some wild soloing with fine support from long-term collaborator Martin Dosh on drums, Jeremy Ylvisaker on guitar and Mike Lewis on bass. The 14-song set includes cuts as the steel-drum heavy “Danse Caribe,” the instrumental “Behind the Barn” and the lush, eight-minute “Hole in the Ocean Floor” among others.

“We had our front of house engineer Neal Jensen bring his old Tascam 8-track tape machine and Yamaha board (nothing fancy) out to my barn,” Bird said about the recording. “We rolled tape as we were learning the songs and to our surprise we started nailing the songs by the second take. I think we got a rough, unfussy honesty in this session.”

In addition to versions of the album on 2LP and CD, this super deluxe collectible vinyl box also includes the short film Here's What Happened on DVD featuring live performances, the creation of the album and a rare look into Birds' private studio.
