New David Byrne/Brian Eno album
« on: August 18, 2008, 09:50:00 am »
Stream or buy here.
 
 First couple tracks are pretty good.
 
 
 Blurb about it from Byrne's blog:
 "Iâ??m also wondering whether the web-curious will allow news of the album to spread more or less by itself. In the past, I might have undertaken all kinds of expensive marketing plans to prepare for a record release: there would be a teaser, live shows, posters, magazine ads, interviews, and advance CDs sent to writers and reviewers. Weâ??ve done a few interviews, but thatâ??s about it. It will be interesting to see if audiences find out about this song â?? and the record â?? without all those marketing techniques, and solely through Internet word-of-mouth."

Are these guys new to the indie scene? Any good? I heard they sound something like Clap Your Hands Say Yeah. Any truth to that one?

Mighty fine release so far. I'm 3 tracks in.

I need to give this another listen. Thought it was decent but slightly adult contemporary-ish as a whole.
 
 But that was after just one spin.

On first listen I was disappointed in this album.
