Not one to hang around, his next release, ‘Torn On The Platform’, is out on June 25th 2007 and is already a firm favourite with his fans and a highlight of his encapsulating live set – a set that has reached well beyond his London confines with his last touring schedule reaching in excess of sixty sold out dates in as many days.

Heartfelt and impassioned, ‘Torn On The Platform’, (as the title suggests) finds Jack himself on a train, leaving a town he’s not sure he wants to leave. In just four minutes of pop brilliance, the questions of his racing mind pour out on to an open page and one of the countries best new lyricists is born. The single is completed with brand new tracks, ‘Silence In Speech’, ‘Roll Your Own Dice’ and ‘On The Road’, all being made available over the various formats of the record (CD Single, 2 x 7” and download).

With Jack now putting the finishing touches to his debut album, he and his band are heading back out on tour in June (see below). He might just be playing a certain festival in Somerset as well…

Tonight ANDREW BIRD is joined by a full band to deliver a mesmerizing live set of utterly riveting songs that work their magic on their own believable terms, without a hint of cloying nostalgia or riff-fueled seduction as he plays strings, glockenspiel, wurlitzer and tape loops… 
Taking all the best parts of Jeff Buckley, Devandra Barnhart and Rufus Wainwright, Bird can be noisy, charming, frivolous, haunting and playful all at once, with each song an adventure and, a mystery. As compulsive as he is obsessive, Bird’s attention to detail in ‘Production of Eggs’ assembles all his finest gifts into one breathtaking basket.” -Billboard, 2/5/05
“Surely one of the albums of the year (yes, already), from super-talented Chicago songman/violonist/whistler Bird. To say he combines delicate alt.country with sweet, smooth folk rather dumbs down the subtlety of these mellifluous arrangements. He’s an ace lyricist too (‘my skin is white as parchment, drier than a downtown office building where the air is tight’). Think Buckley a little, Rufus Wainwright, a gently crooning Thom Yorke even. But the overall effect – well that’s more like the soft magic of snowfall. Honest”. Time Out
“His painterly reach suggests Mercury Rev’s haunted Americana; more often, he recalls Rufus Wainwright, but without the sexual theatricality. Absorbing”. The Observer 
 “It’s got some of Arcade Fire’s orchestral-rock charm, but without the big production and the angst – and a lot more whistling and songs about science”  New York Times
“Bird uses whistling, loops and spare instrumentation to create an atmospheric, multilayered sound that’s melodic and rhythmic but also moody and delicate. Elegant, demanding and moving.” -Q Magazine
