{"product_id":"hands-of-glory-1","title":"Hands Of Glory","description":"\u003cp\u003e'hands of glory' is an eight track companion piece to his previous album 'break it yourself'. the latest album was inspired by bird's recent 'old-time' live sets; it was recorded with bird's full band, all playing acoustic instruments, gathered around a single microphone in a church and a barn. bird's live solo shows have been notable in that he uses a multi-track system to sample and loop his own performance. for example, he may record a snippet of his performance on violin, then play a 'loop' of that sound. this provides a more full-bodied sound and aurally suggests a band performance, rather than the sound of a solo artist. andrew bird is a singer, a violinist and, since 2004, a guitarist, he is also an accomplished whistler. trained by the suzuki method from a young age and a graduate of illinois' northwestern university, bird released his first solo album, 'music of hair', in 1996.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50470861537611,"sku":"357135","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/99c33548-4357-40c5-8a42-5d7d49b27885_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727384265","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/hands-of-glory-1","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
