FEELINGS Press/Reviews — LINK TO FULL TEXT: |
David Byrne: Feelings David Byrne's new album, Feelings, is impressively eclectic, even by the high standards of an artist who went from playing innovative New Wave to experimenting with found sound to fronting a Latin band in the same decade… Rolling Stone, 7.97 |
Byrne-ing Down the House "I tried to write stuff that's not always ironic or tongue in cheek -- [songs that are about] what I feel, what I believe, that come from the heart." Rolling Stone, 6.26.97 |
Less Jittery Now, But Still Jumping About The album's title is meant to be descriptive as well as ironic. ''It's a genuine comment on the record that's also tongue in cheek,'' Mr. Byrne says. "On the cover of the record I have a picture of myself as a doll, so I look like an object that doesn't have feelings. And to me, it's kind of laughing at myself, because I have a reputation for being kind of cold and abstract.'' The New York Times, 6.8.97 |
Feelings On David Byrne's latest release, Feelings, he has taken stock in what he has been doing and expanded and built upon his past to come up with a clever album full of his signature quirky lyrics and vocals along with some fresh instrumental juxtapositions. Concertwire.com |
