Andrew Bird (and Beck 10 years ago) are the only living musicians who can turn me into a crazed fan not unlike a crazy teen seeing The Beatles in 1964. I LOVE HIM. And I’m crazy excited about this documentary.
twentyfourbit:
We just heard Andrew Bird’s Norman score, but now comes a film project focused entirely on the singer-songwriter himself: Fever Year, director Xan Aranda’s 80-minute documentary on the latter half of Bird’s 2009, featuring studio footage, 10 live performances filmed at a pair of concerts in Milwaukee that October, and a guest appearance from St. Vincent. As of now, there are no plans to distribute the film to theaters (aside from screenings this fall/winter), but here’s hoping the trailer, which arrived today via indieWIRE, will give this project the boost it needs to reach fans’ screens worldwide. Catch a glimpse of Fever Year — described by Aranda as “a snapshot of a time during which [Bird] became perfectly adapted to the music hall” — above.
