David Byrne is one of my favourite musicians of all time. From his seminal work in skewed pop and new wave in the Talking Heads, his solo work ranging from classical to world beat music, collaborations with Brian Eno and Fatboy Slim (amongst others), and running is own Luaka Bop record label, there's not much he hasn't done. Still, he finds ways to reinvent himself constantly. His recent collaboration with Annie Clark (aka St. Vincent) has borne some wonderful musical fruit. Byrne's offbeat take on pop is all over this album. Annie Clark brings a lush pop and jazz sense to the songs on this album. Definitely one of the best pop albums of the year.
