{"product_id":"andrew-bird-noble-beast","title":"Noble Beast CD","description":"Beginning with a skipping step, enthusiastic whistling and playful backing vocals that suggest a leisurely walk in the park, \"Oh No\" introduces \u003cem\u003eNoble Beast\u003c\/em\u003e with a festive air that allows this violin-wielding Chicago singer-songwriter to explore his pop side.  This extra lift in his step remains throughout.  While his influences are steeped in various unrelated traditions that tend towards the darker corners - from jazz to folk to German drinking songs, you name it - Bird mixes and matches as he hears fit with an ebullient grace.  The six-and-a-half-minute \"Masterswarm\" is a bucolic swath of mystery, flowing onward with a stream-like consciousness, reminiscent of the loose and free cadences of Van Morrison and Tim Buckley.  \"Fitz and the Dizzyspells\" pulls up with a tough, decisive rhythm section that yields to Bird's sublime melodic musings.  Each track offers up a diverse collection of thoughts and impressions.  The sad Spanish guitar that drives \"Effigy,\" the strains of film noir that lace \"Nomenclature,\" the haunting early-'70s folk of \"Unfolding Fans,\" all come together without a feeling of forced eclecticism but as a focused, united musical front. - iTunes\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCD Details\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: January 20, 2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecord Label: Fat Possum Records\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC: 767981112428\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNumber of Discs: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Andrew Bird","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":23772251201,"sku":"Andrew Bird (3)","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1398\/5745\/files\/Andrew_Bird_Noble_Beast_CD.jpg?v=1761924605","url":"https:\/\/colliderecords.live\/products\/andrew-bird-noble-beast","provider":"Collide Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
