Outside Problems

Bird recorded the new album mostly outdoors in Ojai, California, and it’s described in a press release as a collection of “instrumental improvisation and melodic exploration."

Regarding his new album, Bird said in a statement that “none of these songs were recorded with the intent of making an album.” He explained, “I just happened to capture moments of melodic exploration over a period of time.”
