Little Bird Flies Into a Big Black Cloud is an album by The Microphones.[3] It was released in 2002 by St. Ives.[4]

The album was recorded on February 2, 2002 (2/2/02), and limited to 400 copies.[4]

Critical reception[edit]

AllMusic called the album "probably a little too intimate and rough for all but the most dedicated fans."[1] Tiny Mix Tapes wrote that "despite the 'low' fidelity, these songs are far from mere demos or blueprints or live versions; they are the sound of a process, a performance; the sound of a song in its most naked state."[2]
