American Utopia
David Byrne American Utopia Vinyl · Celebrated former Talking Heads frontman David Byrnes first solo album in 14 years features joyous, off-kilter melodies and guests including Brian Eno and Oneohtrix Point Never. · While David Byrne has collaborated on joint releases with Eno, Norman Cook (AKA Fatboy Slim), and most recently St. Vincent over the past decade, American Utopia is Byrnes first solo album since 2004s Grown Backwards. · Speaking about the album, Byrne said: These songs dont describe an imaginary or possibly impossible place but rather attempt to depict the world we live in now. Many of us, I suspect, are not satisfied with that worldthe world we have made for ourselves. We look around and we ask ourselveswell, does it have to be like this? Is there another way? These songs are about that looking and that asking. I have no prescriptions or surefire answers, but I sense that I am not the only one looking and asking, wondering and still holding onto some tiny bit of hope, unwilling to succumb entirely to despair or cynicism. Its not easy, but music helps. Music is a kind of modelit often tells us or points us toward how we can be." · Radio and print interviews for key Australian media and print reviews confirmed to run in March. · Print advertising in Rhythms, online advertising and social media messaging. · An extensive world tour Byrne has called the most ambitious show Ive done since the shows that were filmed for Stop Making Sense is expected to be announced soon.
