David Byrne and Brian Eno have released another album together and I heard a track from it this morning at Flotsam Picnic, and it's great! Sounds like a updated Talking Heads track in some ways but maybe a little slicker. The production is really nice too.
I liked their release My Life in the Bush of Ghosts but it is so strange that I don't find myself going to it unless I want to be in that strange state of mind.
I am just digging in to this new album, but so far I am loving it.
David Byrne and Brian Eno - Strange Overtones
I’m also wondering whether the web-curious will allow news of the album to spread more or less by itself. In the past, I might have undertaken all kinds of expensive marketing plans to prepare for a record release: there would be a teaser, live shows, posters, magazine ads, interviews, and advance CDs sent to writers and reviewers. We’ve done a few interviews, but that’s about it. It will be interesting to see if audiences find out about this song — and the record — without all those marketing techniques, and solely through Internet word-of-mouth. - http://journal.davidbyrne.com/2008/08/08042008-strang.html
