Hands of Glory is the new album of sorts from Andrew Bird. Set for release on October 30th via Mom + Pop, Hands of Glory is a companion piece to Break It Yourself from earlier this year and will feature some new songs, some reworked tracks from Break It Yourself, and a few covers. As you can see in the trailer below, Bird and his live band recorded the thing while all huddled around the one microphone, much like he did when recording his first Bowl of Fire album, Thrills. Check out the opening track “Three White Horses” below, along with the aforementioned trailer, the tracklisting, and Bird’s tour schedule.
