Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, the new album by David Byrne and Brian Eno, is here. You can stream all 11 songs, or buy permanent versions in digital and physical formats. “We both wanted to make an album that combined something human, fallible and personal with something very electronic and mathematical. We wanted to paint a picture of the human trying to survive in an increasingly digital world,” Eno told the Times of London. Â

The Eno-produced ‘Fear of Music’ and ‘Remain in Light’ are my favorite
Heads albums – the perfect companions to a desolate weekend spent in one’s darkened room in a depressive state of self-loathing induced by ennui and penury, the music eliciting a kind of hallucinated happiness.
I gave a cursory listen to the tracks on this new ‘effort’ (albums and CDs are malapropisms in this new streaming digital age) and they didn’t have the hard, manic electric edge of those 2 albums. Byrne’s vocals sounding more like the latter Heads albums. I liked the ‘Strange Overtones’ track, funky and danceable, could have been a track in ‘Speaking in Tongues’ .
Is this David Byrne taking another baby step to a full Talking Heads reunion?
