Cave confirmed the album while responding to a fan who asked how his lockdown is going. In many ways lockdown has felt weirdly familiar, like I ve experienced it before.

To mark the VOD release of Spike Lee s film of David Byrne s American Utopia – Film Editor Ella Kemp and music writer Chris Taylor replicate the post-gig debrief to unpack the new film s complex brilliance
Irrespective of the year and its circumstances, unprecedented or otherwise, there is magic in the seams of every David Byrne performance. It s a pure, intelligent and often electrifying thing – and never more so than when trusted in the hands of the great Spike Lee.
