{"product_id":"david-byrne-who-is-the-sky","title":"David Byrne - Who Is The Sky? [Lemon Yellow]","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prior three years had given him, and much of humanity, the opportunity to ask, \"Do I like what I'm doing? Why am I writing songs, or working this job, or whatever? Does any of it matter?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eByrne'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverybody Laughs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhen We Are Singing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Apartment Is My Friend\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Door Called No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat Is the Reason for It?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Met the Buddha at a Downtown Party\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't Be Like That\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Avant Garde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoisturizing Thing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm an Outsider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe Explains Things to Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Truth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54211796468041,"sku":"191401217835","price":0.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0970\/7329\/9785\/files\/4435533-3416920.jpg?v=1776398186","url":"https:\/\/vintagespinvinyl.com\/products\/david-byrne-who-is-the-sky","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
