As lead singer and songwriter, and producer for Talking Heads respectively, David Byrne and Brian Eno had a longstanding working relationship when they came together to record My Life in the Bush of Ghosts in 1980. The album was a sonic collage, using trans-continental samples and found objects in the soundscape to make a moody and dense groove. On release in 1981, the album received acclaim for its breadth of soundscape and innovations in production technique. David Byrne and Brian Eno collaborated again in 2008 for the album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, releasing the singles Strange Overtones and One Fine Day. David Byrne would tour their collaborative catalogue internationally in 2008 and 2009.
