David Byrne & St Vincent – Love This Giant (LP Vinyl)
Annie Clark had already established herself as one of rock's most distinctive guitar voices before she and David Byrne found their way to each other, and the pairing made a strange, perfect sense. Byrne's decades of exploring rhythm, texture, and the avant-garde edges of pop, rooted in his Talking Heads years, met Clark's own restless formalism, and what emerged was something neither could have reached alone.
Recorded over two years, largely at Water Music in Hoboken, NJ, LOVE THIS GIANT is a collaboration in the truest sense of the word, with Byrne and St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) co-writing ten of the albums twelve tracks, and each artist penning one song individually. The album centers around an explosive brass band and is propelled by John Congletons drum programming. Byrne and Clark will launch a 24-date fall tour on September 15 in Minneapolis with a group that includes eight brass players, a keyboardist and a drummer.
