Hark! is the 13th solo studio album by Andrew Bird, released on December 11, 2020. It is Bird's first holiday-themed release.[5][6][7]

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."[8]
