Brian Eno and David Byrne - Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

52nd Annual Grammy Awards
Best Recording Package
Everything That Happens Will Happen Today ~ Stefan Sagmeister, art director (David Byrne & Brian Eno)

David Byrne and Brian Eno have paired up for their first record together as co-writers since the highly influential and critically acclaimed 1981 release My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Everything That Happens Will Happen Today is the culmination of a year's worth of writing, recording and travel between New York and London. The record features Byrne's lyrics and voice alongside Eno's various electronic tracks. "When we started this work, we started to think we were making something like electronic gospel: a music where singing was the central event, but whose sonic landscapes were not the type normally associated with that way of singing," says Eno. "This thought tapped into my long love affair with gospel music, which, curiously, was inadvertently initiated by David and the Talking Heads."
