Everything That Happens Will Happen Today

Is the name of Brian Eno and David Byrne’s new “electronic Gospel” album. It’s their first collaborative release since “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts,” an experimental thing that came out in 1981, which was great, but pretty weird (which is probably why I thought it was great). I’m going to have to listen to ”Everything” a few more times before I know how much staying power it’s going to have, but so far I’m enjoying it. It’s very folksy, but also feels thick and full, if that makes any sense. It’s more straight forward than “Bush of Ghosts,” but the aura of ambient experimental electronica sort of floats around the whole time – something you can sense but that doesn’t punch you in the face like it usually does with Eno. Not that that’s a bad thing.

Anyhow, the album was released independently by them and only on their website. You can stream the entire CD on their page for free, and download one song for free as well. You can also buy the digital version for $9 in DRM free 320kbps mp3s, with an FLAC version available for no extra charge if you’re into that kind of thing. Of course, there’s a super expensive version with a sweet case, a few extra songs, hardbound book, and some other stuff. If, you know, you have $70 that you really hate and want to get rid of. I sure don’t.
