The expansive 1981 Brian Eno + David Byrne LP My Life in the Bush of Ghosts was groundbreaking to the Nth degree, and it’s undoubtedly my favorite release from either gentleman. To think that this unabashedly bizarre album was laid to tape in the middle of Eno’s ambient explorations and right before the ever-popular Remain in Light (all recorded in ’70s no less) is pretty mind-blowing. In many ways, My Life in the Bush of Ghosts made the world safe for artists like Boards of Canada and Godspeed You Black Emperor to utilize strange field recordings over vocals. And it looks like the 2006 rerelease treatment for My Life in the Bush of Ghosts has renewed enough interest for a follow-up collaboration effort. Everything That Happens will be released as a digital download on August 18 from the official site. Throw it on and have the most fucked-up dance party you’ve ever witnessed.
