DAVID BYRNE & BRIAN ENO Everything That Happens Will Happen Today (2009 US limited edition 11-track LP pressed on 180gram VIRGIN VINYL, featuring the first Byrne & Eno collaboration in nearly 30 years. 'This record was born as a dinnerconversation. While dining in New York with David and some other friends, I mentioned that I had accumulated a lot of music, which, despite my intentions, I had never formed into songs. David volunteered to give them a try. Upon starting thisproject, we quickly realized we were making something like electronic gospel music in which singing becomes the central event, but whose sonic landscapes are atypical of such vocal-centered tracks', reveals Brian Eno, while David Byrne comments 'The foundations of some of the tracks are much like those of traditional folk, country, or gospel songs before these styles became harmonically sophisticated. Brian's chord structures were unlike anything I would have chosen myself, so I was pushed in a new direction, asked to face the unfamiliar, and this, of course, was a good thing. The results, in many cases, are uplifting, hopeful, and positive, even though some lyrics describe cars exploding, war, and similarly dark scenarios. These songs have elements of our previous work — no surprise there — but something new has emerged here as well.' Presented in sealed & stickered picture sleeve)
