'Noble Beast' is the fifth solo album by multi-instrumentalist (and expert whistler) Andrew Bird . Musical maturity is apparent with Bird's songs walking the line between expert craftsmanship and innocent playfulness and experimentation. Traditional influences of folk, blues and baroque grapple with a penchant for electronic techniques and repetition, culminating in confident and bold masterpieces that stand out from otherwise standand singer-songwriter fair. Coupled with the limited edition version of the album is the all instrumental 'Usless Creatures', which further explores Bird's sonic experiments over nine tracks. Buy at Amazon .
