Andrew Bird Releases New Live Album

Fans of local multi-instrumentalist/loop master par excellence Andrew Bird are likely bummed about his Gezelligheid gigs at Chicago's Fourth Presbyterian Church wrapping up yesterday. Should they feel like shelling out additional cash money, though, they can pick up the latest entry in his Fingerlings live series, which is the fourth in total.
According to Pitchfork , the record was recorded last December, also at the Fourth Presbyterian Church. Between the Fingerlings album and the wide release of his instrumental album Useless Creatures, Bird has had a quietly productive 2010. Hopefully, he'll keep up the pace in the new year. Noble Beast follow-up, anyone?
Check out video of Andrew Bird covering Bob Dylan's "Oh, Sister" below at last year's Gezelligheid show. The video quality is a little dicey, but the audio is clear as one of Bird's whistles. It's a lovely cover.
