Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. 2019 . My Finest Work Yet finds Bird grappling with themes of current day dichotomies and how to identify a moral compass amidst such divisive times. InchI'm interested in the idea that our enemies are what make us whole-there's an intimacy one shares with their opponent when locked in such a struggle. If we were to just walk away would our enemies miss us? How did we get to this point and how can we, through awareness of it, maybe pull ourselves out of this death spiral,Inch says Bird.

Andrew Bird on Outside Problems I wanted to record Inside Problems outside, but this plan fell apart when it became clear that some dude with a wood chipper could really ruin our day. I did so much casual recording during the pandemic, in my backyard or in Ojai, that I gathered enough outdoor recordings to make Outside Problems. Most of these were made without any intention of making an album, just improvisations on simple themes, some of which make up the musical backbone of Inside Problems. Album Tracks 1. Mancey 2. Epilogue 3. St. Festivus 4. What We Saw 1. Mormon House 2. Mo Teef 3. Heaven's Boughs 4. Improvisation on a Familiar Theme 5. Tik Tok
