The final Andrew Bird album to feature his backing group, Bowl of Fire, 2001's THE SWIMMING HOUR finds the Chicago-based singer/multi-instrumentalist mixing his signature vintage aesthetic with a more immediate indie-rock sound. An album seemingly tailor-made to showcase Bird's range, HOUR ranges from the rollicking "Two Way Action" to the elegant "Case in Point" to the breezy "Dear Old Greenland," with the performer's reedy vocals and expressive violin playing often at the fore. Arguably the best introduction to Bird, THE SWIMMING HOUR dabbles in jazz, folk, and classical music with impressive ease, and points the way to his lauded subsequent solo outings.
