David Byrne - BIg Love: Hymnal

New Talking Heads’ David Byrne release “BIG LOVE:HYMNAL”, essentially musical compositions for the acclaimed HBO drama TV series “Big Love”
on the Todomundo label.
“Big Love” is the tale of a Salt Lake City man with three wives, three houses and three families. The tracks David Byrne has written for this release
combine an array of atmospheric and tantalizing music. These themes gently sway with beautiful subtlety and a nod to the historical Hymn. Here are
21 tracks that breathe both; life and conflict, good and evil. This is simply an astounding, delightful collection of compositions from the original genius
behind the Talking Heads & the Luaka Bop label.
This collection contains the first new songs from David Byrne since his 2004 release "Grown Backwards.""I had an idea to base my scoring loosely on
Mormon hymns. That would presumably hint at the unspoken spiritual underpinnings that motivate many of the characters' actions - or justify them,
in some charactersâ' cases. I got hymnals and Mormon Hymns CDs, read up on the Mormon Church and began to practice writing 'fake' hymns."
