Jimbo Mathus & Andrew Bird - These 13 [Grey Marbled] (New Vinyl LP)

All 13 songs that appear on These 13 were written entirely in collaboration; Bird and Mathus penned the first half in 2018, took a break, and then wrote the second bunch in 2020. Everything was recorded live - both artists sat around an RCA 44 microphone to get the cozy, life-like feeling of an in-person performance - before producer Mike Viola stepped in to touch it up a bit.
