David Byrne & St. Vincent have announced details of a long-awaited European tour. The duo's seventeen-date tour includes three August UK shows and marks their first live soirees since releasing their collaborative album, 'Love This Giant' last year to critical acclaim.
Recorded over two years, 'Love This Giant' is a 'collaboration' in the truest sense of the word, with Byrne and St. Vincent co-writing ten of the album’s twelve tracks, and each artist penning one song individually.
The duo also split lyrical and vocal duties on the record, which despite eschewing a traditional guitar/bass/drums line-up in favour of idiosyncratic horn arrangements, presents itself as infectious and modern hook-laden rock.
It really is as simple and as wonderful as that.
David Byrne & St Vincent will play:
August 27 - London Roundhouse
August 28 - Birmingham Symphony Hall
August 29 - Glasgow Royal Concert Hall
