Look into the Eyeball, released in 2001 through Luaka Bop & Virgin Records, is the fifth solo album and sixth studio album overall by Scottish-American Alternative Rock musician David Byrne. As stated on his website in the leadup to the album's release, it was born out of a desire to mix the artsy emotion of orchestral music with the catchy danceability of mainstream pop, hoping "to move people to dance and cry at the same time."As a result, the album moves away from the Trip Hop stylings of Feelings before it and ramps up the use of acoustic and orchestral arrangements, moving into a Baroque Pop approach (which would become particularly prominent on Grown Backwards three years later) and marking the start of Byrne's new art pop sound, which he would stick with under varying permutations for the remainder of his career. Working with his greatest volume of guest musicians since Uh-Oh nearly a decade prior, the songs were pieced together over the course of two years, starting work in Andalusia, Spain before being further fleshed out in New York.In essence, the album carried over the international and improvisational development style of Talking Heads' final album, Naked, though trading out the ensemble-wide jam sessions with more economical digital samplers; Byrne would only bring in the guest musicians after he'd pinned down his ideas. Nevertheless, the parallels that were present were fitting, as Byrne's former band was seeing renewed media attention during the dawn of the 21st century. Stop Making Sense had seen a high-profile re-release for its 15th anniversary in 1999, and the band had regrouped to re-promote the film. Byrne was still on tense terms with his bandmates, but the public revisiting of the band's glory days ended up placing a new sense of attention on not just Talking Heads, but also Byrne himself. This renewed interest would be exemplified by Microsoft's decision to license leadoff single "Like Humans Do" as a sample track for Windows Media Player in their new operating system, Windows XP.On a more trivial note, the album also marks Byrne's final release for his longtime vanity label Luaka Bop, created all the way back in 1988; having shifted distributors over the years from Sire Records to Warner (Bros.) Records to Virgin Records, Byrne found himself exhausted trying to both manage the label and continue his career as a musician. He would step down from Luaka Bop shortly after the album's release, signing onto Nonesuch Records for his following work.Look into the Eyeball was supported by two singles: "Like Humans Do" and "U.B. Jesus".Tracklist: "U.B. Jesus" (3:49) "The Revolution" (2:15) "The Great Intoxication" (2:36) "Like Humans Do" (3:32) "Broken Things" (4:29) "The Accident" (2:34) "Desconocido Soy" (2:38) "Neighborhood" (4:32) "Smile" (3:33) "The Moment of Conception" (2:55) "Walk on Water" (3:26) "Everyone's in Love with You" (2:27)I'm troping in, I'm troping out: | |
