Who Is The Sky?, Byrne’s first record since 2018, is due September 5 via Matador Records. The 12 tracks on the were LP arranged by the members of New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra. Byrne noted that there are “more story songs than usual” on the record, which includes “mini-narratives based on personal experiences.”
“I suspected that intimate orchestral arrangements would bring out the emotion I sense is there in these songs,” Byrne said in a press release. “It’s something that folks don’t always hear in my work, but this time for sure I thought it was there.”
He added that “at my age, at least for me, there’s a ‘don’t give a shit about what people think’ attitude that kicks in.”
“I can step outside my comfort zone with the knowledge that I kind of know who I am by now and sort of know what I’m doing,” Byrne said. ‘That said, every new set of songs, every song even, is a new adventure. “
Byrne, best known as the frontman of the pioneering band Talking Heads, has long been celebrated for his multimedia stagecraft and eclectic style.
