Andrew Bird’s Soldier On E.P. is now available to fans in the US. The 8-track E.P. was originally a limited release (November 2007), to be sold only on Bird’s 2007 European tour. It includes a cover of Bob Dylan’s ‘Oh Sister’, an early version of Armchair Apocrypha‘s ‘Heretics,’ as well as some stuff we have not yet heard from the Bird. My consensus: I love it. Andrew Bird is a singing, whistling, violin-playing angel. Then again, I planned to love it, so my opinion, in this case, might be too biased for you. Bummer. In case brevity isn’t your thing: cokemachineglow posted extremely long-winded review.
If you can read French or you know how to get google to translate a page into English, you can order Soldier On via snail mail from Fargo Records. Otherwise you have to download it (see itunes, rhapsody, etc.) Care for a preview? Push play:
