David Byrne and St. Vincent


"Love This Giant" is a studio album resulting from the collaboration between David Byrne and St. Vincent, released on September 10, 2012, through 4AD and Todo Mundo in the United Kingdom and on September 11, 2012, in the United States. This album represents Byrne's ninth studio effort and St. Vincent's fourth. Byrne and St. Vincent began their collaboration in late 2009, employing a writing and promotion process similar to the one Byrne used for his 2008 project with Brian Eno, Everything That Happens Will Happen Today. Their previous collaborations included live performances at an Actor Tour concert and contributions to the album Here Lies Love. To enhance their songwriting, the duo enlisted a variety of brass musicians. They supported the album with a tour over the following year. David Byrne later incorporated a reworked performance of "I Should Watch TV" from this album into his American Utopia Tour, which was also featured in its Broadway production and documented in the film of the same name.
