Astronautalis produces new Bleubird album 'Cannonball!!!'

​Recent Minnesota-transplant Astronautalis didn't take long to ingratiate himself in the Twin Cities music community, easily winning over local music fans with his high-spirited live shows and genuine talent. But he hasn't forgotten about his Florida friends, and has teamed up with his childhood pal Radical Face to co-produce Cannonball!!!, the new record from the Floridian MC Bleubird. Bleubird is just as well-traveled as Astronautalis is, and has seamlessly blended the influences and flavor of each of his former homes into his music, fusing his rapid-fire storytelling over fresh, innovative beats.

Both Bleubird and Astronautalis have performed together many times over the years, and enjoy collaborating with each other, an easy camaraderie which should only add to the vibrant spirit of Bleubird's album. You can order the record as well as listen to previews of each of the tracks (including "Hello Hallow," which features Astronautalis) at the Circle Into Square site. And here's a clip of the duo performing together way back in 2009.

The pair have also announced an extensive European tour together, which will find them hitting the continent pretty hard over the next two months. Hopefully, after that lengthy tour is finished, Astronautalis will bring Bleubird up to the Twin Cities to show him what our scene is all about.
