Si recordáis, el álbum se llamará Love This Giant y se publicará el próximo 11 de septiembre. Ya pudimos escuchar la primera canción del trabajo, "Who" , una interesante mezcla de soul, funk y jazz que nos dejó buen sabor de boca. El dúo ahora acaba de estrenar el segundo corte del LP, "Weekend in the Dust" , que [...]

Having already released one of the best tracks of the year so far with "Who" , St. Vincent & David Byrne 's LP collaboration Love This Giant is gearing up to be one of the best albums of the year, if for no other reason than based on the two tracks from it that we've now heard.
