Hear The New Andrew Bird Single

World renowned whistler, violin player, ex-Squirrel Nut Zipper and tall indie-rawk hearthrob, Andrew Bird has unveiled the new single from his forthcoming LP, Break It Yourself. EyeOnEye is a bit more rocking than the typical Bird fare, prompting Rolling Stone to inquire "Who Pissed Off Andrew Bird" when reviewing the single in its most recent issue. But, fear not Bird lovers, the same old catchy melodies and semi-sensical lyrics are still in full plumage. Furthermore, there's a hooky whistle break just like you know you wanted.

You can listen to the new single below. In addition, you can see a track list for the Break It Yourself record which hits stores on March 6th and see upcoming tour dates in support of the album.
