david byrne David Byrne Teams With St. Vincent For New Album, North American Tour

Former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne and St. Vincent mastermind Annie Clark have teamed up to release a collaborative album called Love This Giant on September 11. Two and a half years in the making, features 12 songs (one solo track apiece, and 10 collaborations). And if that wasn’t enough, the new duo plans on launching a full fall tour.

Describing the project to Rolling Stone, Clark simply stated that “we just started writing and kept writing and writing…It just evolved to become this much bigger thing… David Byrne is the coolest person on the planet.”

Byrne and Clark will be criss-crossing North America this fall, playing songs from both Love This Giant as well as tunes from their individual back catalogs.

Clark and Byrne will tour North America in the fall, playing material from Love This Giant as well as selections from their respective catalogs. The band on that tour, which kicks off September 15th at the State Theater in Minneapolis, will feature a full brass section. Check out the tour dates below (via Consequence of Sound)—if you’re lucky Byrne and Clark will be coming to a town near you.
