Ah, the inestimable Mr. Bird: we meet again. I’ve seen the Chicago virtuoso what seems to be a thousand times now, but I’m still staggered by the sheer scale of his talents. The glorious new arrangement of Dark Matter set the pace for a show that saw the multi-instrumentalist tone down his more indulgent loop-fests in exchange for a more melodic approach to his songs. Of the new material, “Masterswarm” particularly stands out, but there’s not a single song performed that was less than impressive to behold- and the whistling solos are just as accomplished as ever. One of the few genuine geniuses of the indie scene, you owe it to yourself to check Andrew Bird out- you won’t be disappointed.
