David Byrne - Who Is The Sky? [Indie Exclusive Apple Green Vinyl LP]

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, "Do I like what I'm doing? Why am I writing songs, or working this job, or whatever? Does any of it matter?"

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.
