David Byrne - Who Is The Sky? - VINYL LP
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Rock
- Description: In 2023, as his triumphant American Utopia era came to a close, David Byrne began jotting down the occasional groove, chord or melody and assembling them into demos he recorded with just an acoustic guitar atop a programmed beat or loop. The prior three years had given him, and much of humanity, the opportunity to ask, InchDo I like what I'm doing? Why am I writing songs, or working this job, or whatever? Does any of it matter?Inch Byrne's attempts to answer those weighty questions can be found on Who Is The Sky?, a first-time collaboration between himself, Grammy-winning producer Kid Harpoon aka Tom Hull (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus) and New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra, and featuring guest appearances by Paramore's Hayley Williams, longtime collaborator St. Vincent and The Smile drummer Tom Skinner. The album builds upon the optimistic themes laid out by American Utopia and it's supporting tour, but more specifically spelled out by the Grammy-winning Broadway show and subsequent movie. With this offering, Byrne continues his lifelong exploration of human connection and the potential for societal unity against the chaotic backdrop of the world. Who Is the Sky? is particularly personal, cinematic, humorous and joyful, but often with a lesson baked in - that love is unexplainable, that enlightenment means very different things to different people and that it's always a good idea to moisturize, whether you wake up the next morning with skin like a baby or not. Most importantly, the songs evince Byrne's gift for riding the razor's edge of avant-garde and accessible pop. Album Tracks 1. Everybody Laughs 2. When We Are Singing 3. My Apartment Is My Friend 4. A Door Called No 5. What Is the Reason for It? 6. I Met the Buddha at a Downtown Party 7. Don't Be Like That 8. The Avant Garde 9. Moisturizing Thing 10. I'm An Outsider 11.

Green Day / Saviors (Deluxe 180gm Vinyl) Green Day is not your savior. But the spirit of rock n roll might be. And as the greatest punk band alive, they're the loudest vessel we have... to give it a shot. Green Day are ready to flip off the famous, stupid and contagious, by putting a mirror to the present tense like only they can, with Saviors- an inspired new studio album to be released in early 2024. Amazingly, Saviors represents Green Day's 14th studio album, yet somehow this enduring power trio - Billie Joe Armstrong, Tré Cool & Mike Dirnt - remain devoted to their defiant craft that has fueled their career-long destruction of every boundary bestowed on the genre, and landed 3 East Bay punks in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. The album was recorded in both London and Los Angeles under the audacious ear and Rock prowess of Green Day's longtime friend & collaborator, GRAMMY® Award-winning producer Rob Cavallo. The deluxe version of the album features a gatefold sleeve, an embossed cover, and an exclusive 24Inchx36Inch poster, pressed on 180gm vinyl. Album Tracks 1. The American Dream Is Killing Me 2. Look Ma, No Brains! 3. Bobby Sox 4. One Eyed Bastard 5. Dilemma 6. 1981 7. Goodnight Adeline 1. Coma City 2. Corvette Summer 3. Suzie Chapstick 4. Strange Days Are Here to Stay 5.
