David Byrne is set to release a new album with
Brian Eno, and is also working on a collaboration with
Fatboy Slim, he told
NME.COM at a recent event in
New York.
After his appearance with
Paul Simon at the
Brooklyn Academy Of Music last week (April 9) the former
Talking Heads front man also said “I’m finishing up a record with
Brian Eno, a musician that I worked with 30 years ago. We did a record together of songs, and that’ll come out. And I’m also working on a collaboration with
Fatboy Slim, also songs, I don’t know when that’ll be done but sometime.”
As previously reported,
Byrne performed
‘I Know What I Know’ and
‘You Can Call Me Al’ during the
‘Under African Skies’ event which was attended by a myriad of celebrities including
Susan Sarandon,
Cynthia Nixon,
Parker Posey,
Philip Glass and
Steve Buscemi.
“
Paul and I had met a few times and we have some musical interests in common and he asked if I would do it,”
Byrne explained
“I know these songs and I just thought this is going to be…not exactly easy…but it’s not that hard. It’s in
New York, I don’t have to go anywhere, I’m not on tour, I’m just working on writing and recording stuff of my own so I thought this will be fun!”
