Break It Yourself is American singer-songwriter Andrew Bird's sixth solo studio album, released on March 5, 2012 through Mom+Pop records in the US and Bella.

Andrew Bird's latest album, which includes a duet with St. Vincent, finds the t working more collaboratively with a band than he has in a long time. Break It Yourself, his latest album, opens with a song that jumps right into these kinds of concerns. Desperation Breeds" wrings more than a little haunt out of the precipitous loss of bee populations, and from there, we're off to the races, winding through ruminations on the way death's promised end point can inject meaning into life's mundane moments ("Near Death Experience Experience"), to "Sifters", whose point that the "moon plays the ocean like.

Because Andrew Bird has never been one to change dramatically from album to album, he is a tinkerer taking slightly different approaches with each new venture, like between Armchair Apocrypha and Noble Beast, while never eschewing from what makes him a singular artist. Of course, this has led to criticisms of predictability, which I have always found problematic. It’s a criticism that seems symptomatic of the internet age and its persistent fetishization of trends and fads. And that seems to be exactly what Break It Yourself wants to be, moments of lighthearted uplift amidst the melancholy. Not heavy-handed or weighty melancholy in a Virginia Woolf kind of way, more in the way of sun-bleached old photographs of past loves: a postcard to the mellifluous nostalgia of summer love past.
