The term "supergroup" is often used to refer to a set of musicians who are best known in association with their respective bands - musicians who haven't necessarily operated as solitary acts in their own right, and are culled together to see what their individual untapped energies will create when synthesized. By contrast, when speaking [...]
It may take a few glances to pinpoint what exactly is off about the cover art on Love This Giant , a new collaboration between David Byrne and St. Vincen t released September 10 on 4AD and Todo Mundo . The former Talking Heads frontman and the beautiful indie pop star, pictured in black and white suits, make a striking pair - and once you notice their slightly modified jawlines, that off ness becomes not a bad thing, but simply a random weird addition to [...]
Scientists and historians might have disproved the whole Mayan calendar prophecy with the recent Leap Year Conundrum, but I'm not so convinced. Since the dawn of this October, it seems like the music industry has been pumping out nothing but crazy people news, storming about with headlines that sound stripped from the most cretinous drudges of fan fiction. If you told me a week ago that Godspeed! You Black Emperor would have a new album out, or that The Replacements would be releasing anything , or that Coachella would be that obsessed with The Smiths to go all out [...]
[photo courtesy of Amanda Hatfield ] "Heads up out there, this is David Byrne. During our show, we welcome picture taking, video recording, audio recording..." Whoa. From a taper's standpoint, that was some of the best news I'd heard in a long time. David Byrne's opening announcement at all of the shows on this current tour with St. Vincent has included that invitation, which we happily accepted for the Williamsburg Waterfront show on Saturday night. As these two amazing musicians tour in support of their collaborative album Love This Giant [...]
David Byrne & St. Vincent - Love This Giant Release Date: Sept 7th, 2 01 2 Label: 4AD When it was first announced that David Byrne, the secretive but never isolated musician responsible for the Talking Heads and numerous other solo efforts, was going to collaborate with Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, anticipation and speculation immediately [...]
The title of this album is incorrect or, rather, incomplete. Yes, this is a collaboration between David Byrne and Annie Clark of St. Vincent but there's a third, equally important member: the brass. Love This Giant , out on 4AD/Todo Mundo , is absolutely packed with brass sections, melodies, and blasts. It gives off a temporal vibe, especially when placed in contrast with the electronic flourishes that are provided by the two talented musicians. Each track finds a new way to use the instruments [...]
Twenty-six years ago, David Byrne stood from the silver screen in True Stories and asked, "What time is it? No time to look back." It's a short mantra that goes a long way in describing the 60-year-old songwriter, whose celebrated canon of work runs parallel to no one. Whether amid the Talking Heads or alongside collaborators like Brian Eno, Byrne exhibits this pioneering attitude that's uncanny yet exigent. He's a creative steam engine that's always moving on a track that never ends. It's something any potential collaborator has to respect, and his latest does. In [...]

David Byrne and St Vincent - Love This Giant By Jonathan Hopkins For fans of the idiosyncratic, pairings don’t come any more intriguing than Annie Clark and David Byrne .

David Byrne is, well, David Byrne: founding member of Talking Heads, and one of music and art’s most iconoclastic heroes. Having met at the Dark Was [...]
With modern cameras capable of capturing colors we don’t even have names for, the decision to shoot in black-and-white is not a decision to be made lightly. In his video for the David Byrne/St. Vincent collaborative song “Who,” director Martin de Thurah not only uses black-and-white to establish a sense of Twilight Zone -esque otherworldliness but he also utilizes his limited color palette to reemphasize the importance of both artists in the creation of the song. The video begins with a dapper David Byrne cautiously getting out of his car to inspect an unresponsive Annie Clark who happens [...]

Now that's a street [...]
David Byrne's voice sounds as timeless as ever on his latest album that sees the ex-Talking Heads chief team up with Ms. Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent). The album plays like a vanity project for the duo and proves to be a challenging listen that you can decide for yourself over here . The xx "Coexist" on their latest album.

Strangely, reading that St. Vincent and David Byrne have collaborated on an album did not seem strange tome at all. Annie Clark and the former Talking Heads singer may have a May-December relationship of sorts, but they definitely have their flare for the eccentric in common. Love This Giant will be released on September 11th. [...]

Photo Courtesy of 4AD Records Annie Clark of St. Vincent and David Byrne of The Talking Heads will be playing Tower Theatre on September 27 th to perform music from their upcoming collaborative album, Love This Giant . Weird, right? Take a few seconds to think about it. Now, say it to yourself again. If it didn’t already, it’s probably starting to sound less weird and way more awesome.

MP3: David Byrne & St. Vincent- "Who" There are a few artists whose album announcements actually get my fingers shaking and breathing erratic. David Byrne is one of 'em, and his forthcoming project is an exciting one. There's been talk of him collaborating with St. Vincent, a.k.a. musical eccentric and songstress Annie Clark, but there wasn't any clarity as to when some material would actually drop. Well, with the first track from this collaboration coming out today, the project actually feels pretty tangible right about now. The amount of collaborative [...]
