David Byrne seems to always manage to deliver music at the perfect moment. With the current state of global politics in a roller coaster wave of extremity, he is set to release his new album 'American Utopia' on March 9th via Todomundo/Nonesuch Records.

It looks like 2018 will be an exciting year for music and David Byrne is helping to lead the charge. Check it out.
If the music of his previous band Virgin Kids represented a sonic explosion of youthful urgency pushed by fiery punk and garage rock, as a solo artist CC Honeymoon's current sound is an introspective journey examining love, lust and more, powered by seducing pop, electro and new wave rhythms that are hypnotically gripping. Having released his lush debut single 'Part Time View' actually under the moniker of CC Honeymoon a couple months back, his follow-up track 'In The Night' is a hedonistic and passionate voyage into the experience of the physical connections between two.
