As Drowned in Sound noted today, David Byrne announced this week that his long-rumored return to the studio with Brian Eno is nearly complete:

The dream art-rock team of David Byrne and Brian Eno will return with new, strange fruit soon, the former Talking Heads man told NME.com recently.
Speaking at an event in New York, Byrne revealed that the duo had rekindled the relationship they formed in the late 70s/early 80s which resulted in three Talking Heads records and 1981’s classic My Life in the Bush of Ghosts.
“I’m finishing up a record with Brian Eno, a musician that I worked with 30 years ago,” Byrne said following an appearance with Paul Simon at the Brooklyn Academy of Music on the 9th of April. “We did a record together of songs, and that’ll come out.”

The NY Daily News adds:

Byrne told us he’s collaborating with their mutual friend Brian Eno “for the first time in 20 years. Brian had written a lot of music, but needed some words, which I know how to do. What’s it sound like? Electronic gospel. That’s all I’m saying.”

Sources say the album will likely be released via Nonesuch, but probably not until 2009 before the end of the year.
In the meantime, David Byrne’s booking agent at William Morris Agency, Mark Geiger, has been soliciting offers from a number of different promoters around the United States for Byrne/Eno live shows, promising the set list will consist of at least 40% Eno-era Talking Heads material. No word yet on if he’s had any takers. Most of the tour is already booked.

David Byrne to Tour and Record with Brian Eno





David Byrne will reunite with Brian Eno for both an album and tour later this year. Eno worked with Byrne and the Talking Heads from 1978-1982, producing classic albums like More Songs About Buildings and Food, Fear of Music and Remain in Light. The pair also collaborated on Byrne’s first solo album, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Many credit Eno with introducing Talking Heads to the afro-beat and world music sounds that informed the group’s work in the early 1980s and Byrne’s solo work in the years since. The song-based project is expected to hit stores before 2009, coinciding with a national tour where the pair will lean heavily on Talking Heads classics.
