Oh! The Grandeur is Andrew Bird's second album with the Bowl of Fire. The first track, "Candy Shop", was recorded as a demo track for the then-upcoming Tim Robbins film, Cradle Will Rock (though the song did not appear in the film). Another track of note on this album is "Tea & Thorazine," which was inspired by Bird's autistic brother's experience with mental institutions. The song mentions a "Dr. B" and Bird identifies him in the album liner notes as Bruno Bettelheim, an early autism researcher.
"Beware (Reprise)" (+ Bonus track: "A Drinking Song In the Grande Style")
5:45
Other appearancesedit
A live version of "Tea & Thorazine" appears on Fingerlings 2 as "T'n't".
"The Confession" was later reworked into the song "The Privateers" on the album Noble Beast.
