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.

Jelly Roll, the giant underground genre-bending singer/songwriter/rapper, delivers his new album Ballads of the Broken. The introspective 10-track record delves deeper into his current season of life and his growth - personally and sonically, marking the first time he does not rap except for a lone verse across the album. Having written each song on the album, Jelly Roll finds Incha more centered emotional space,Inch and Inchtakes those raw, unreserved verses and melds elements of country, rock, and hip-hop into his own signature styleInch (Billboard). Being vulnerable and emotional might not be what you expect from a burly former inmate with face tattoos and piercings, but Ballads of the Broken is deeply rooted in self-reflection and pain. Drawing from his own experiences and struggles - with relationships, substances, mental health and life in general - the project tells the story of a man who has been through the ringer, has gotten his feet back under him but knows he has a long way to go. Album Tracks 1. Dead Man Walking 2. Backslide 3. Son of a Sinner 4. Over You 5. Hollow 1. Even Angels Cry 2. Sober 3. Empty House 4. Mobile Home (Demo) 5. Son of a Sinner (Demo)
