Listen to Andrew Bird’s new 7 track EP ‘I Want To See Pulaski At Night’ in full below which is released on 19th November in the UK (12th November – USA). From Andrew Bird:
“I had this song “Pulaski at Night” that was fresh and ready to go. Rather than wait a few years to put it out, I composed a sort of score to go with it, as if the song were a movie, and I wrapped it in a soundtrack composed of themes that set you up for the song.”
“When a seemingly random word or phrase sticks in your head for two decades, you should pay attention to it and maybe honor it in some way. It now represents a time in Chicago in my 20’s. We were driving around the northwest side with a student visiting from Thailand. At one point he declared, ” I want to see Pulaski at night”. We thought it was funny and absurd because Pulaski is a street that runs the length of Chicago’s west side and I can tell you, you don’t want to see Pulaski at night.”
