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 (review).
“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.”
Anything else in the pipeline?
“…I’m also working on a collaboration with Fatboy Slim, also songs, I don’t know when that’ll be done but sometime.”
Presumably Byrne’s way of purging U2, then.

I saw David Byrne do a show at Carnegie Hall last February.
It was billed as being a collaboration with Fatboy Slim. In fact it was a song cycle based upon the life of Imelda Marcos - Byrne sang half the songs and the others were performed by a trio of female singers. It was not clear what input Fatboy Slim had had.
It wasn't particularly good, but was clearly a work in progress.
What happened to the
Eno, Herbie Hancock, and Squarepusher collaboration?
David Byrne can do wahtever he wants
and he usually does
He is without compare
How have I not heard about this sooner?
Massively excited - Bush of Ghosts is an amazing record.
