Watch the trailer for Andrew Bird's upcoming album 'Break It Yourself'

by Tyler Munro

While M. Ward is busy frolicking around with Zooey Deschanel, Andrew Bird has been working overtime to corner the soft-spoken guitar-pop market. He’s been toiling away behind the scenes on Break It Yourself, the follow-up to 2009’s Noble Beast, which was re-released last year with Useless Creatures, a bonus disc of unreleased instrumentals.

Earlier today he formally announced the album, revealing its album art, tracklisting alongside a charming little trailer shot at Bird’s picturesque home studio. It’s only 33 seconds long, but like…it’s super pretty and stuff. Watch it up top, and check out the album art (which is decidedly less pretty and might’ve had its fonts added in on MS Paint) and tracklist below. Break it Yourself will be out on March 6th.
