Brand new album from DAVID BYRNE, legendary TALKING HEADS frontman, known for his groundbreaking work with BRIAN ENO and award winning film score THE LAST EMPEROR. This is the soundtrack to the film YOUNG ADAM, starring EWAN MacGREGOR. Including 15 new original compositions, from beautiful, sweeping orchestrations, to piano miniatures and mesmeric post-rock soundscapes, swinging jazz odes and dark Badalamenti-like passages, this is some of Byrne's most delicate and sensitive material. Byrne is accompanied by a fine cast of Scottish backing musicians, featuring members of MOGWAI, BELLE & SEBASTIAN and APPENDIX OUT. Says Byrne: "at it's best it's an extension, a musical interpretation of the ambient sounds of the film the sounds of the barge, the docks, the plates, the sex, the dishes".
