Andrew Bird Shares Video for New Song “Atomized”
On Tour with Iron & Wine This Summer
Andrew Bird has shared a new song, “Atomized,” via a video for his first single of 2022. Matthew Daniel Siskin directed the amusing black & white video. Watch it below, followed by Bird’s upcoming tour dates, including some previously announced summer shows with Iron & Wine (aka Sam Beam).
The song includes the lyrics: “Start making your apologies, blaming technology/They’re gonna try to get a rise to unseat you/They’ll demagnetize your poles and you know they’re gonna try to delete you…Here’s what I say to them: things fall apart.”
In a press release, Bird further explains his intent with Atomized,” saying: “Didion was updating W.B. Yeats for the fractious ’60s. This song takes it to the pixelated present where it’s not just society that is getting atomized but the self that is being broken apart and scattered.”
In 2021, Bird released an album with Jimbo Mathus, These 13, via Thirty Tigers.
Bird’s last solo album was 2019’s My Finest Work Yet. Since then he’s also gotten into acting, appearing on Fargo.
