David Byrne is back with a deluxe edition of Who Is The Sky?, adding four bonus tracks to last year's Matador debut. That record was his first in seven years, a real moment for anyone who has followed him since the Talking Heads days or through solo gems like his 2004 belter Grown Backwards. He cut the album with Kid Harpoon, the guy behind Harry Styles, and pulled in killer guests like Hayley Williams and St. Vincent, an old creative partner from their 2012 collaboration Love This Giant.
The man has not slowed down. Byrne has been touring an elaborate, mesmerizing live show, the kind of staging that recalls his Stop Making Sense legacy. He covered Olivia Rodrigo. He wrote a track built entirely from Elon Musk quotes, because of course he did.
Now these four new cuts extend the era for anyone who wants more. At 73, Byrne keeps finding fresh angles. Few artists stay this restless. Fewer stay this good.
