So there's a new David Byrne & Brian Eno album. Physical CDs aren't out yet, and only available via their website, which may be part of why there's not much talk of this.
Very much snuck up on me. It's by no means a follow up to 'My Life In the Bush of Ghosts', music-wise... just a bunch of Eno instrumentals he didn't know what to do with, and which Byrne sang on... Feels quite light, bit slight too... but it's growing on me.
Whole album streaming and a free download of one track (with email sign-up) at the album website.

I'm enjoying it more than anything either of them have got up to solo for a long while, but not as much as what they got up to around the time of 'Bush of Ghosts' and 'Remain In Light' and so on...
It's interesting looking at the orders page... Byrne's been quite a darling of e.g. Wired mag, talking up new options and approaches for getting music to punters... looks like he's trying some things out. Very much doing the down-home, "Hi it's David here" approach to the marketing.
