"The Return of Brass Tactics" es el EP producto de una serie de presentaciones que dieron el pasado año David Byrne junto a Annie Clark (St. Vincent) con motivo de la presentación del álbum "Love This Giant". El EP contiene canciones de St. Vincent e incluso el "Road To Nowhere" de Talking Heads. A continuación pueden bajáserlo entrando al link que comparto. Además, la presentación del EP a cargo del mismo David Byrne.
"I did a record with St. Vincent (Annie Clark) last year and then we did a tour of North America and Australia that was like nothing I've ever done before—drums, keys and Annie and I supported by 8 choreographed brass players. We did the new material, but also a lot of recognizable songs, arranged for that group. The sound is incredible, and it's a bit of a visual spectacle as well. We were pretty excited at how it turned out. The critical and audience response was great too! Touring a group that size with a fairly complex show is a big financial gulp, so it has taken us a while to collect enough offers in North America and Europa, but now they are in and we kick off in a few weeks.
One of our business folks had the idea that we might offer a taste of what we're up to—to those who might have missed the tour or the record or maybe thought it was some weird arty collaborative project. So we put together a downloadable EP to give folks that taste. The EP has one song that didn't make it on the record (a waltz featuring some lovely glass harmonica), a couple of energized remixes of some of the album tunes and two live tracks of the sort of more familiar material we do in the set.
Hope to see you soon—the dates are listed below.
