Thursday music corner: Scottish-born, American-raised musician David Byrne (b. Dumbarton, 1952) came to prominence through the hugely influential group Talking Heads, and his reputation has only grown following his long solo career. His touring shows for albums American Utopia and Who Is The Sky? have been gaining him legions of new, younger fans thanks to their warmth and optimism, and the way they successfully integrate musical and dance performances using unplugged instruments.
Byrne has released 11 solo albums since 1981, including two with Brian Eno (My Life in the Bush of Ghosts from 1981, and Everything That Happens Will Happen Today in 2008), and one each with St Vincent and the Ghost Train Orchestra. This April 2026 performance of Life During Wartime is part of Byrne's Who Is The Sky? tour show, and was recorded at the Coachella music festival in California on 11 April. The track originally appeared on the third Talking Heads album Fear of Music in 1979, and was the album's first single.
