Andrew Bird - Armchair Apocrypha

1x****
Mostly mellow until most songs take off halfway through, such as "Scythian Empires" with fuzz guitar and adds the soaring vocal. When "Dark Matter" takes off, it's to the land of U2. "Armchairs" is perhaps the most dramatic in the form of a big ballad. The rest is pleasant folk-influenced twee pop music, most songs with sawing violins.
