Description
David Byrne announced his new album American Utopia, the former Talking Heads singer's first solo LP in 14 years.

Byrne said of American Utopia in a statement, "These songs don't describe an imaginary or possibly impossible place but rather attempt to depict the world we live in now. Many of us, I suspect, are not satisfied with that world—the world we have made for ourselves. We look around and we ask ourselves—well, does it have to be like this? Is there another way? These songs are about that looking and that asking."

American Utopia, due out March 9th through Nonesuch Records, marks Byrne's first solo album since 2004's Grown Backwards. Since then, the Talking Heads mastermind has released album-length collaborations with Brian Eno, St. Vincent and Fatboy Slim.

For the LP, Byrne worked with a fleet of in-demand producers, including Eno, Rodaidh McDonald, Daniel Lopatin (Oneohtrix Point Never), Jack Pinate, Jam City and Thomas Bartlett (Doveman). The album was recorded in Byrne's home studio in New York City as well as studios in New York and London.

"This album is indirectly about those aspirational impulses. Sometimes to describe is to reveal, to see other possibilities. To ask a question is to begin the process of looking for an answer. To be descriptive is also to be prescriptive, in a way. The act of asking is a big step," Byrne continued. "The songs are sincere—the title is not ironic. The title refers not to a specific utopia, but rather to our longing, frustration, aspirations, fears, and hopes regarding what could be possible, what else is possible. The description, the discontent and the desire—I have a feeling that is what these songs touch on."

Tracklist
1. American Utopia
2. I Dance Like This
3. Gasoline And Dirty Sheets
4. Every Day Is A Miracle
5. Dog’s Mind
6. This Is That
7. It’s Not Dark Up Here

David Byrne Expands 'American Utopia' Tour

David Byrne has extended his North American tour in support of his upcoming new album, American Utopia.

The new set of dates begins with a performance at the first week of Coachella, followed by an April 15th show in Tuscon, Arizona. Byrne will play a string of southwest dates before returning to Coachella for week two, after which he'll trek across North America with stops in Dallas, San Antonio, Nashville, Washington D.C., Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Portland and Chicago before wrapping June 9th in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Byrne will tour Europe throughout June and July, but has another North American run scheduled to start August 1st in Shelburne, Vermont and end August 28th in Morrison, Colorado. Complete ticket information for both legs of Byrne's North American tour is available on the musician's website.

Byrne is already scheduled to play a string of sold-out U.S. shows this March alongside several South American dates. When he announced this first run, Byrne said the set list would feature new songs and Talking Heads classics. "This is the most ambitious show I've done since the shows that were filmed for Stop Making Sense, so fingers crossed," the musician said.

American Utopia arrives March 9th and marks Byrne's first solo album since 2004's Grown Backwards. The musician previously shared the LP's first single, "Everybody's Coming to My House," which was co-written with Brian Eno and features contributions from Sampha, TTY and Onyx Collective's Isaiah Barr.

Interesting. I like that one better than the "House" one.
