What their label says...

· David Byrne and Brian Eno have paired up for their first record
together as co-writers since the highly influential and critically
acclaimed 1981 release ‘My Life in the Bush of Ghosts’.
· ‘Everything That Happens Will Happen Today’ is the culmination of a
year’s worth of writing, recording, and travel between New York
and London.
· ‘Everything That Happens…’ was conceptualized during a visit to Brian
Eno’s studio after the two reconnected upon Nonesuch Records’ re-release
of Bush of Ghosts. Byrne explains, “I recall Brian mentioning that he had
a lot of largely instrumental tracks he’d accumulated, and since, in his
words, he ‘hates writing words,’ I suggested I have a go at writing some
words, and tunes over a few of them, and we see what happens”.
· Thus the two began exchanging vocal and instrumental tracks, and the
transatlantic collaboration began.
· ‘Everything That Happens…’ features Byrne’s lyrics and voice
alongside Eno’s various electronic tracks.
· “When we started this work, we started to think we were making
something like electronic gospel: a music where singing was the central
event, but whose sonic landscapes were not the type normally associated
with that way of singing,” says Eno. “This thought tapped into my long
love affair with gospel music, which, curiously, was inadvertently initiated
by David and the Talking Heads”
· 180 gram vinyl.
· Full color matte varnish cover with metallic sticker.
