As it turns out, David Byrne has been teasing a lot more than just a new song these past few weeks. The musician has just announced Who Is the Sky? out September 5 via Matador Records.
Byrne's first album since 2018's American Utopia features appearances from musicians like Hayley Williams, the Smile's Tom Skinner and St. Vincent — the latter of whom shows up on "Everybody Laughs," the track Byrne has been hinting at on his new TikTok account.
UPDATE (6/13, 1:06 p.m. ET): Due to popular demand, Byrne has added a third Toronto show at Massey Hall on October 23. Tickets are on sale now.
In support of the record, Byrne is embarking on a massive world tour, starting with a North American leg this fall. In typical Byrne fashion, his touring band will consist of 13 musicians, singers and dancers. The lone Canadian dates comprise a doubleheader at Toronto's Massey Hall on October 21 and 22.
Byrne has been busy elsewhere in his work, performing "Burning Down the House" with Olivia Rodrigo at Governors Ball last weekend. Talking Heads also released the first-ever music video for "Psycho Killer" starring Saoirse Ronan last week.
Check out the Gabriel Barcia-Colombo-directed video for "Everybody Laughs" and the full list of tour dates below.
