Andrew Bird has announced a new LP, Inside Problems, due out on June 3 via Loma Vista Recordings. Today, he has also shared the official audio and music video for “Underlands.” Watch here.

The forthcoming album was recorded live by Bird and his four-piece band and includes masterful vocal overdubs by 25-year-old singer and guitarist Madison Cunningham. Inside Problems examines Bird’s thought process as he contemplates and questions every impenetrable thought that keeps him up while the rest of the world sleeps.

Bird shared his thoughts behind the process of tracking the new LP; he stated, “I have so much fun taking my ideas apart before they really have defined themselves as distinct songs, when they’re still in that amoeba-like state. I love the feeling of chasing ideas and having them split off and go hang out with another idea and then butting them up against each other to see if they talk to each other.”

On March 17, Bird released the first track off the forthcoming LP, “Atomized,” which was shared along with an accompanying music video. The track serves as an update to a piece of 1967 writing by Joan Didion, who penned that she “had dealt directly and flatly with the evidence of atomization, the proof that things fall apart.” Read the full news story here. 

Ahead of the June 3 release date, Bird will embark on his first tour in nearly three years. Along with his full band, the musician will co-headline a stretch of shows with Iron & Wine. The tour will see stops at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre and Chicago’s new Salt Shed venue. Along the way, the ensemble will be supported by Allison Russell, Meshell Ndegeocello and Neko Case.
