It’s been 27 years since the release of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, and now David Byrne (most famous for interviewing Thom Yorke) and Brian Eno (most famous for producing Coldplay’s latest) are set to finally release their follow-up album, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. Sweet! Unlike My Life, which was released on Sire Records back in 1981, Everything That Happens will be self-released through the album’s official website. Also sweet! According to Bryne:

"Brian Eno and I recently finished our first collaboration in about 30 years. For the most part, Brian did the music and I wrote some tunes, words and sang. It’s familiar but completely new as well. We’re pretty excited. In August the music will be available via this Web site, free for streaming and it will also be available for purchase as both a download and in physical formats. One of the songs will be available free of charge."

The single Byrne is referring to is "Strange Overtones," which will be made available August 4. The entire album will be available for purchase (and as a stream) August 18, with a deluxe physical version following sometime later.

Everything That Happens tracklist:

1. Home 2. My Big Nurse 3. I Feel My Stuff 4. Everything That Happens 5. Life Is Long 6. The River 7. Strange Overtones 8. Wanted for Life 9. One Fine Day 10. Poor Boy 11. The Lighthouse

Meanwhile, Byrne will soon tour these songs, as well as some Talking Heads/My Life in the Bush of Ghosts tracks, later this year and into next. “The live shows will maybe try to draw a line linking this new material with what we did 30 years ago,” explains Byrne in a press release. “A little bit anyway.” Yes, Eno won’t be there (TMT News), but if you still want to see this once in a lifetime (wink) show, stay tuned — more dates are coming!
