Jun 14, 2012 David Byrne and St. Vincent By Laura Studarus

As previously announced David Byrne and St. Vincent (Annie Clark) have been at work on a joint album. Now the pair are ready to spill the beans on their project. Out September 11 via 4AD/Todo Mundo, the project is collaborative in every sense. In a recent interview with Pitchfork, Clark admitted as much, saying, “It’s an honest-to-god, straight-down-the-middle thing. He wrote music, I wrote music; he wrote words, I wrote words. He sings half the songs, I wrote half the songs. I’ve never been that closely entwined in the songwriting, arranging, singing, and lyric-writing process with anyone.”
