There are two types of problems in this world: outside problems and inside problems. In titling his album Inside Problems, Andrew Bird acknowledges the
various detritus swirling around the inside. These songs are the result of snatching ideas from obsessive middle-of-the-night thoughts, organizing them, and projecting them out across the threshold to the outside. Inside Problems chronicles that moment of realization, when the inside can no longer hold us, so we move outside that brittle bubble,
and we are caught for a moment in the in-between.
