Hark! is the 13th solo studio album by Andrew Bird, released on December 11, 2020. It is Bird's first full-length holiday-themed release.[1] [2] [3]

Six songs from the album initially appeared on an EP, also titled Hark!, which was released digitally in November 2019.[4]

Reception

Andrea Warner of CBC Music praised Bird's cover of Vince Guaraldi's "Skating" from A Charlie Brown Christmas, stating "Bird's innovative and creative cover...is both familiar and jolting, warm and angular, evoking the joy of spinning circles on a frozen lake as the wind gently cuts paths across your cheeks."[5]
