David Byrne has announced a new album:American Utopia arrives March 9 via Todomundo/Nonesuch. It was made in collaboration with producers Brian Eno and Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, King Krule), as well as contributors Oneohtrix Point Never, Jam City, Doveman, Jack Peate, and others. It marks Byrnes first solo album since 2004s Grown Backwards. Byrne has also shared a new track from the album. Everybodys Coming to My House was co-written with Eno, and includes contributions from Sampha, TTY, Onyx Collectives Isaiah Barr, and more. Check out the song (with an accompanying visual by Robert Edridge-Waks) below, and scroll down for the American Utopia tracklist and cover art.

American Utopia comes as part of Byrnes ongoing Reasons to Be Cheerful series in which he curates hopeful writings, photos, music, and lectures. These songs dont describe an imaginary or possibly impossible place but rather attempt to depict the world we live in now, he said in a statement. Many of us, I suspect, are not satisfied with that worldthe world we have made for ourselves. We look around and we ask ourselveswell, does it have to be like this? Is there another way? These songs are about that looking and that asking.

David Byrne recently announced a tour behind the new album, promising fans the most ambitious show since Talking Heads Stop Making Sense concerts. The itinerary has since been expanded and now includes a stop at Coachella.
