Andrew Bird Announces New Album, Tour

11:49 a.m. · December 6, 2011 · by Andrew Winistorfer

It's been close to three years since Andrew Bird delivered his semi-breakthrough album, Noble Beast, an album that found him in the papers of NY Times and many non-music nerd publications. The world's greatest whistler is coming back this March though: He's releasing a new album called Break It Yourself, and it's due out on March 6 via Mom + Pop. 

To go along with that news, Bird announced a huge tour behind the album that kicks off in March in London. The tour takes him from there to Chicago in May, with dates everywhere in between. Comedian Eugene Mirman opens a few dates. Here are they are:
