Via Pitchfork comes the exceedingly Andrew Bird-like new single from the former Chicagoan's upcoming new album, Break It Yourself. Stream "EyeonEye," which features the usual lush production, whimsical arrangements, and the album's title phrase, below. At this point, Bird has become a solid, if predictable, tunesmith. He's much more adventurous live, and listening to his new music inspires thoughts of how he'll fine-tune the new material in concert more than anything else. Break It Yourself is due out in March, for those who like actual-enjoyment and not snooty meta-enjoyment.
