The Grandeur is the third studio album by the American singer-songwriter Andrew Bird, and his second with the band Bowl of Fire.
The first track, "Candy Shop", was recorded as a demo track for the then-upcoming Tim Robbins film, Cradle Will Rock (though the song did not appear in the film).
Another track of note on this album is "Tea & Thorazine," which was inspired by Bird's autistic brother's experience with mental institutions.
The song mentions a "Dr. B" and Bird identifies him in the album liner notes as Bruno Bettelheim, an early autism researcher.
