An improvisatory companion to 2022’s Inside Problems, Andrew Bird’s newest instrumental album channels the warmth of its Ojai, California setting.
If Inside Problems was the feature film, then Outside Problems is the accompanying TV series that adds context to the main feature, but also has its own branches of story to offer those interested. Never one to let good ideas lie low, Andrew Bird continues to offer the full picture, which his fans will no doubt appreciate the most.
There’s an alluringly atmospheric feel to the six-minute “Epilogue”, but these remain cute sketches in need of more colour to fully draw us in.
