The album “I Want to See Pulaski at Night” was written to go along with the central song, “Pulaski at Night.” According to 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.”
