David Byrne, released in 1994 through Luaka Bop, Sire Records, and Warner (Bros.) Records, is the third solo album (and fourth studio album overall) by the Scottish-American Alternative Rock musician of the same name. A departure from the Latin worldbeat that had defined Byrne's sound since the late '80s, this record presents a more straightforward approach punctuated by darker lyrical touches in Byrne's distinctly offbeat style. Keeping in line with its eponymous title, Byrne moves away from the large quantity of session musicians that defined his previous albums in favor of playing most of the instruments here, a-la Paul McCartney's McCartney series, with session players only contributing accessory elements to the music after the fact. Additionally, the lyrical content becomes more introspective, moving away from story songs in favor of exploring what its advertising campaign billed as "songs of haunting reflection and hypnotic energy personified," altogether acting as a thorough examination of the implications behind the term "Self-Titled Album."On a more trivial note, this album was Byrne's first to not receive an LP release in any region, only being put out on CD and cassette. While vinyl had been reduced to afterthought status by the start of Byrne's solo career in 1989, by this point it had gone completely dormant within the mainstream. As a result, the format was considered commercially unviable until the start of the Vinyl Revival in 2007; tellingly, Byrne wouldn't return to LP releases until a year after the latter phenomenon began, with 2008's Everything That Happens Will Happen Today.David Byrne was supported by two singles: "Angels" and "Back in the Box".Tracklist: "A Long Time Ago" (3:27) "Angels" (4:43) "Crash" (4:28) "A Self-Made Man" (3:51) "Back in the Box" (4:24) "Sad Song" (3:03) "Nothing At All" (4:51) "My Love Is You" (2:01) "Lilies of the Valley" (4:28) "You & Eye" (5:08) "Strange Ritual" (6:51) "Buck Naked" (3:51)The clown will trope in your face: | |
