27 years after their “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” collaboration, David Byrne and Brian Eno are once again releasing an album together.

“Everything That Happens Will Happen Today” will be available starting August 18, exclusively via www.everythingthathappens.com and represents the result of a year’s worth of writing, recording, and voyaging between London and New York.

The album brings together lyrics created by the ex Talking Heads singer and electronic music made by the renowned producer. The outcome will be a collection of 11 tracks, according to the press release. As reported by the Guardian, David Byrne’s lyrics are inspired from various sources, including the Dave Eggers novel “What is the What”, although “Everything That Happens Will Happen Today” is mainly stirred by gospel music.

Starting with 4 August, www.everythingthathappens.com will permit listeners to download at no cost a preview of the album, including the song “Strange Overtones.” Two weeks later, fans will be able to purchase the complete record. Moreover, other formats will appear next, such as an enhanced CD with download and deluxe package CD with download featuring artwork by Stefan Sagmeister.

David Byrne will also launch a major tour this autumn in order to promote the album, with gigs that include songs from the new album as well as from “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” and even Talking Heads material produced by Brian Eno.

“The live shows will maybe try to draw a line linking this new material with what we did 30 years ago,” Byrne explained, as cited by the Guardian.

U.S. concerts have already been communicated, while worldwide dates releases are being expected.
