Andrew Bird Unleashes New <i>Fingerlings</i> Live LP

It's been a while since gentle indie rocker Andrew Bird loosed new tunes on his listeners. While he did release Useless Creatures in October, the instrumental offering technically came out at the beginning of 2009 in a deluxe edition of his Noble Beast record. Though he hasn't announced a new studio set, the whistle enthusiast has given us a new live record, which can be purchased now on his website.

As the fourth instalment in his Fingerlings series, which started back in 2004, his latest live set was recorded last December at the Fourth Presbyterian Church in Chicago, IL. The show was part of his "Gezelligheid" tour that saw him performing in a number of churches.
