David Byrne and Brian Eno have paired up for their first record together as co-writers since the highly influential and critically acclaimed 1981 release "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts". Self-released, "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today" is the culmination of a year's worth of writing, recording and travel between New York and London. The album is now available as a stream and digital download for purchase exclusively through everythingthathappens.com. Beginning October 7 the record will be available for purchase via iTunes and on November 25 the enhanced CD will be available in stores. Also available exclusively via everythingthathappens.com is the deluxe package CD designed by Stefan Sagmeister which includes an enhanced CD with four bonus tracks, a short film about the album and a screensaver application.
Byrne is currently supporting "Everything That Happens.." with a six-month world tour titled "Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno," which features Byrne performing songs from his numerous collaborations with Brian Eno, including tracks from several Talking Heads albums produced by Eno, the pair's 1981 collaboration "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts" and their newest collaborative effort, "Everything That Happens Will Happen Today". "The live shows will...try to draw a line linking this new material with what we did 30 years ago," explains Byrne. He will tour throughout the U.S. from the fall of '08 through early '09, Australasia in early '09 and Europe in March '09. Please see below for a list of dates.

"Some of the catchiest songs Byrne has come up with in years."-The Times (UK)

"A radiantly tuneful set...the album often evokes sublime, slow-to-midtempo Heads songs like 'Heaven' and 'This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody),' as well as dreamy Eno songs like 'St. Elmo's Fire' and 'I'll Come Running.'" -Rolling Stone
