And Velvet Underground, but the John Cale, "Paris 1919," particularly, that song was just on every day. It started, I think, when my son - during the pandemic, we just all hung together - started being the DJ around the house. But the one that I spent the most time on was "Faithless Ghost." And that's kind of an outlier. I think of "Underlands" as a sort of template for the album. Was there a song that ended up on Inside Problems that set the tone when you realized, OK, this is where this record is going ? But it turns out it wasn't that essential, and I needed the songwriting process to sort of keep my sanity and sense of purpose.

And then being on stage, that sort of sense of a dialogue with an audience I thought was part of my process, too. Going from one place to another, just the act of leaving your home can give you perspective that kind of triggers things. It was strange I was wondering if just being in one place was going to affect my writing, because I always thought that traveling and performing informed my writing. There are always things that have been kind of simmering for five or six years that I just find the moment to organize. When did you start writing the songs that would become Inside Problems - before, or during the pandemic? home, Bird, a low-key and thoughtful native of Lake Bluff, Illinois talks about pandemic-inspired "inside" stuff (his brain, his home) and the resultant songs that populate his latest, and maybe, greatest work. Inside Problems, released June 3, offers 11 often poignant, quietly passionate songs produced by Mike Viola (who has also worked with Mandy Moore, Panic! at The Disco and Jenny Lewis). Bird will support his LP on a tour that kicks off June 15 at Los Angeles' Greek Theatre. So it's perhaps unsurprising that Bird has managed to follow up an album - the somewhat winkingly titled My Finest Work Yet - with a record that might be even finer.

And let's not forget the live albums (six), EP's (10) and film and TV projects, including acting on the FX drama " Fargo. Bird's 1996 debut album, Music of Hair, was followed by about 16 solo records (some with/as Bowl of Fire), not to mention a variety of collabs. In addition to his own work, the GRAMMY-nominated singer/songwriter is a renowned whistler, and was a member of Squirrel Nut Zippers for several years.

Prolific might be an understatement when it comes to Andrew Bird 's work across a myriad of mediums.
