The post David Byrne Unveils New Album Who Is the Sky?: Stream<\/a> appeared first on Consequence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

David Byrne<\/a> has released his ninth studio album, Who Is the Sky? via Matador Records. Stream the album below.<\/p>\n

Who Is the Sky? is Byrne\u2019s first full-length effort since 2018\u2019s highly regarded American Utopia. The new album was produced by Grammy winner Kid Harpoon, with all 12 songs arranged by members of New York-based chamber ensemble, Ghost Train Orchestra. The LP arrives with a slew of guest appearances from the likes of Paramore\u2019s Hayley Williams, St. Vincent, The Smile and Sons of Kemet drummer Tom Skinner, and American Utopia percussionist Mauro Refosco.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt my age, at least for me, there\u2019s a \u2018don\u2019t give a shit about what people think\u2019 attitude that kicks in,\u201d Byrne said about his new work in a press statement. \u201cI 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\u2019m doing. That said, every new set of songs, every song even, is a new adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Byrne will celebrate the new release with a multi-leg world tour, which kicks off later this month on September 14th in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. After covering North America, the show will head over to Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, wrapping up March 2026 with a two-night stand in Paris. The new shows will feature a band of 13 musicians, singers and dancers, including some members of the American Utopia band. Like that tour, everyone on stage will be fully mobile. See the complete itinerary below, and get tickets here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The singer released a trio of singles leading up to the release of the new album: \u201cEverybody Laughs,\u201d<\/a> \u201cShe Explains Things to Me,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and \u201c\u201cThe Avant Garde.\u201d<\/a>\u00a0Just last night, he previewed a fourth song, \u201cWhat Is the Reason for It,\u201d with a live band performance<\/a> on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. During the interview with Fallon, he revealed how an autocorrected text helped name his new album.<\/p>\n

The world tour will cap an eventful year for the former Talking Heads<\/a> frontman, which includes getting married<\/a> to his partner, Mala Gaonka, the same week as the release of Who Is the Sky? Byrne marked the special occasion by sharing the mostly instrumental wedding playlist<\/a> that spans 42 songs and two-and-a-half hours.<\/p>\n

This summer saw Byrne join Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> at the Governors Ball festival for a surprise performance<\/a> of Talking Heads\u2019 classic, \u201cBurning Down the House,\u201d complete with synchronized choreography.<\/p>\n

In February of this year, he joined<\/a> Robyn<\/a> at SNL\u2019s 50th anniversary concert to perform her song, \u201cDancing on My Own,\u201d as well as Talking Heads\u2019 1983 single, \u201cThis Must Be the Place (Naive Melody).\u201d<\/p>\n
