Advert Break | NEW ALBUM | David Byrne ‘WHO IS THE SKY?'

I finished up a new album recently called “Who Is The Sky?”. It's produced by Kid Harpoon, joined by Ghost Train Orchestra and, on a couple of songs, my friends St. Vincent and Haley Williams. It comes out Sept. 5th under Matador—a new label for me.

 

I will start rehearsing soon for a tour that begins in September. The tour concept is unlike anything I’ve done before. We’ll keep the mobility that was a key element of the American Utopia tour and Broadway show— but instead of the chain… we will have locations. You’ll just have to come and experience what that involves.

 

Hope everyone is enjoying the first single (and video, directed by Gabriel Barcia-Columbo) "Everybody Laughs", which is out now!
