David Byrne and St. Vincent have teamed up to record the herky-jerk pop-funk album Love This Giant , and it comes out next week. And now we get the appealingly loony black-and-white sketch of a video for the catchily off-kilter first single and album opener " Who ," in which Byrne and Annie Clark take turns lying down in the middle of a country road and busting out absurdist dance moves. If you haven't watched Stop Making Sense in a while, here's a needed reminder that Byrne's broken-marionette dance moves are among our [...]

Well this is pretty awesome. Two high-wire art-pop all-stars, St. Vincent and David Byrne, have teamed up to make a full-length collaborative album called Love This Giant together, and they're also getting ready to head out on a full-scale North American tour. It drops at the end of the summer. The two got together at Hoboken's Water Music studios to record it, and they promise "idiosyncratic horn arrangements" instead of straight-up rock, not exactly a surprise considering their track record. Guests include Afrobeat revivalists Antibalas, the Dap-Kings, and great indie rock producer John Congleton. Below, we've got the [...]

Earlier this month we mentioned the upcoming deluxe edition of Arcade Fire's The Suburbs , and that it would include two new songs. One of those songs, "Speaking In Tongues," includes guest vocals from David Byrne. Now both tracks are floating around the internet. Both songs fit well with the rest of The Suburbs . Win Butler takes lead vocals on both tracks, but you hear David Byrne in the background of "Speaking In Tongues" toward the end. Listen: Read More...
