The Swimming Hour

by Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire

Departing from the strict vintage jazz and swing revivalism of his earliest work, the virtuosic violinist and songwriter vastly expanded his sonic palette. 'The Swimming Hour' incorporates electric guitars, alt-country twang, and highly sophisticated chamber pop arrangements, signaling the transition into the acclaimed indie-rock style of his later solo career.
