David Byrne - Who Is the Sky? (Indie Shop Apple Green Vinyl)
In 2023, as his triumphant 'American Utopia' era came to a close, David Byrne began jotting down the occasional groove, chord or melody and assembling them into demos he recorded with just an acoustic guitar atop a programmed beat or loop. The prior three years had given him, and much of humanity, the opportunity to ask, 'Do I like what I'm doing? Why am I writing songs, or working this job, or whatever? Does any of it matter?' Byrne’s attempts to answer those weighty questions can be found on 'Who Is The Sky?', a first-time collaboration between himself, Grammy-winning producer Kid Harpoon aka Tom Hull (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus) and New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra, and featuring guest appearances by Paramore’s Hayley Williams, longtime collaborator St. Vincent and The Smile drummer Tom Skinner." - Matador
