Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire

We're happy to finally announce that we'll be releasing the first two albums from Andrew Bird's Bowl of Fire, Thrills and Oh! The Grandeur, on vinyl for the first time ever. Both releases will be available beginning October 13th, and are available to preorder here.
Thrills is the band's first album, originally released in 1998 upon Bird's departure from Squirrel Nut Zippers. The new project saw him deftly blending an assortment of genres, most notably traditional folk music and swing, mapping a clear path to the sound he is widely associated with today. This pressing coincides with the record's 25th anniversary. It comes as a double LP, housed in a gatefold jacket with an insert, and features an etching on the fourth side.

Oh! The Grandeur is the second album from the group, released in 1999 on the heels of their debut the year prior. Recorded in New Orleans, the record expands on their unique blend of freewheeling folk and swing. Like Thrills, it comes as a double LP, housed in a gatefold jacket and featuring an etching on the fourth side.
