The Mysterious Production of Eggs (20th Anniversary)

Description

In 2003 Andrew Bird removed himself from the noise of city life in Chicago to work on his music in a barn in rural Illinois. The result was a career-defining record exploring childhood, creativity, and science with wit, precision, and ambition. ‘The Mysterious Production of Eggs’ crystallised Bird’s signature style and introduced the live-looping ingenuity that would define his performances for decades. Two decades later, its influence still resonates throughout the indie world, inspiring artists and audiences alike. To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the album, Bird releases this very special box set featuring a 54 page book including photographs, special surprises, and two essays: one written by Andrew himself, and another by Anders Lindall examining the circuitous and fascinating process Andrew and collaborators took to record the album.
