Description: American Utopia by David Byrne [Vinyl LP] Track Listing: 1 I Dance Like This 2 Gasoline and Dirty Sheets 3 Every Day Is a Miracle 4 Dog's Mind 5 This Is That 6 It's Not Dark Up Here 7 Bullet 8 Doing the Right Thing 9 Everybody's Coming to My House 10 Here Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release from the veteran singer/songwriter and former Talking Heads frontman. AMERICAN UTOPIA fits hand-in-hand with Byrne's vision for his series Reasons To Be Cheerful, named for the song by the late Ian Dury. Over the last year, Byrne has been collecting stories, news, ideas, and other items that all either embody or identify examples of things that inspire optimism, such as a tech breakthrough, a musical act, a new idea in urban planning or transportation-something seen, heard, or tasted. Just as the album questions the current state of society while offering solace through song, the content of the series recognizes the darkness and complexity of today while showcasing alternatives to the despair that threatens us. - While David Byrne has collaborated on joint releases with Eno, Norman Cook (AKA Fatboy Slim), and most recently St. Vincent over the past decade, American Utopia is Byrne's first solo album since, 2004's Grown Backwards, also on Nonesuch. American Utopia morphed during the writing and recording process, beginning with longtime collaborator Eno, and eventually growing to include collaboration with producer Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, King Krule, Sampha, Savages) alongside a diverse cast of creative contributors including Daniel Lopatin (AKA Oneohtrix Point Never), Jam City, Thomas Bartlett (St. Vincent producer, AKA Doveman), Jack Peñate, and others. The album was recorded in New York City at David's home studio, Reservoir Studios, Oscilloscope, XL Studios, and Crowdspacer Studio and in London at Livingston Studio 1. --- Vinyl LP pressing. 2018 release from the veteran singer/songwriter and former Talking Heads frontman.
