Today, David Byrne has announced Who Is the Sky?, his first new album since 2018’s acclaimed and award-winning American Utopia. The upcoming album will be released on September 5, by Matador Records and it was produced by the Grammy-winning Kid Harpoon, while its 12 songs were arranged by the members of the New York-based chamber ensemble Ghost Train Orchestra.
