DAVID BYRNE & BRIAN ENO Everything That Happens Will Happen
Today (2009 US limited edition 11-track LP pressed on 180gram
VIRGIN VINYL, featuring the first Byrne & Eno collaboration in
nearly 30 years. 'This record was born as a dinnerconversation.
While dining in New York with David and some other friends, I
mentioned that I had accumulated a lot of music, which, despite my
intentions, I had never formed into songs. David volunteered to give
them a try. Upon starting thisproject, we quickly realized we were
making something like electronic gospel music in which singing becomes
the central event, but whose sonic landscapes are atypical of such
vocal-centered tracks', reveals Brian Eno, while David Byrne
comments 'The foundations of some of the tracks are much like
those of traditional folk, country, or gospel songs before these styles
became harmonically sophisticated. Brian's chord structures were unlike
anything I would have chosen myself, so I was pushed in a new
direction, asked to face the unfamiliar, and this, of course, was a good
thing. The results, in many cases, are uplifting, hopeful, and positive,
even though some lyrics describe cars exploding, war, and similarly
dark scenarios. These songs have elements of our previous work — no
surprise there — but something new has emerged here as well.'
