.....American Utopia, yesterday. I just purchased it on a whim, hadn't heard any of it before. I like Byrne's work as lead singer and principal songwriter for Talking Heads. Also some of his work with Brian Eno. American Utopia is QUITE good. It's strange music, but that's to be expected with Mr. Byrne. Some of the lyrics are VERY unusual, but also laugh out loud funny at times. I'd describe the music as art pop and experimental rock, with a touch of Brian Eno-like ambient sounds. Pick this one up if you're a fan of Byrne's music or a fan of Eno's, as well. I've read that Mr. Byrne has transformed this music into a Broadway musical, but he's performing it only in Boston and New York. It's gotten rave reviews.
