In recent weeks Andrew Bird has had some free tracks across the web in support of his brand new album. You may have missed KCRW's Today's Top Tune free download of 'Give It Away' the stellar lead single from Break It Yourself. (NOTE: Today's Top Tune is only available on the specific day.. subscribe via iTunes now to prevent missing future awesomeness)
Andrew Bird performing 'Eyeoneye' on the Colbert Report
You still have the opportunity to download, 'Eyeoneye' via KEXP's Song of the Day. The track is also available through a Noisetrade for a four track Andrew Bird sampler!

If you don't go for the Noisetrade sampler, 'The Crown Salesman' is also a download on Andrewbird.net/
Like some of my collaborators, I have been more a fan of earlier works, such as tracks 'A Nervous Tic Motion Of the Head To The Left', and 'Heretics', but I have been pleasantly surprised by Break It Yourself. Andrew Bird is a in incredible violin player, taking the violin to new heights. Just the exercise alone of listening to album to figure out what & how he's playing is wonderful. Andrew Bird even takes whistling to new levels (Remember the new Muppets movie? The whistling finale by Walter, that is actually Andrew Bird 'The Whistling Caruso')
Check out the new tracks and album if you are so inclined. I know I am enjoying the new album, and I am strongly considering Andrew Bird @ Union Transfer in Philly, or the Beacon Theatre in NYC both in early May!
