In 2003 Andrew Bird removed himself from the noise of city life in Chicago to work on his music in a barn in rural Illinois. The result was a career-defining record exploring childhood, creativity, and science with wit, precision, and ambition. 'The Mysterious Production of Eggs' crystallized Bird's signature style and introduced the live-looping ingenuity that would define his performances for decades. Two decades later, its influence still resonates throughout the indie world, inspiring artists and audiences alike. In 2026, Bird marks the milestone with a limited edition box set, a re-issue of the original album, and anniversary tour, performing 'Eggs' in full alongside the world's foremost symphony orchestras proving that some mysteries only grow richer with time.
