David Byrne and St. Vincent’s collaborative album Love This Giant comes out on 9/11(now available for pre-order). We’ve previously heard their track Who, but now we have Weekend In The Dust, the second track off of the album. Listen below:
From their press release:
On “Weekend in the Dust”, David came up with some brass riffs and swells that sounded pretty funky. Annie then wrote a cool vocal melody with words over it. We both arranged her vocal and other elements of the track a bit further—still working with horn samples temporarily. Finally, we passed this one on to baritone sax monster Lenny Pickett, ex Tower Of Power and current Borneo Horns and SNL bandleader, for arranging.
