David Byrne has confirmed that he is currently at work on a new solo release. The Talking Heads fronter sat down for a recent chat in a Reddit AMA and said that he’s been collaborating with Oneohtrix Point Never’s Daniel Lopatin. In the interview, Byrne gave a few insights into his legendary creative process. “Last week I wrote words and a melody over a track that Daniel Lopatin sent me, so I change depending on the situation. Lyrics are best when the writing is not obvious- when they appear to be naturally ocurring (even though that might mean they are the result of lots of work and editing).” He also opened up about some of the influences that could make their way onto the new release adding: “Sinkane, some of Weeknd, Lorde, new Lambchop, new Bon Iver, Sampha, PJ Harvey.” It will mark his first newly recorded effort since 2004’s Grown Backwards.
