Product Description
Title: David Byrne & Fatboy Slim – Here Lies Love Format: Vinyl 2 LP Label: Nonesuch Barcode: 0075597905557
Release date: August 11th 2023
The album has an effervescent disco feel, redolent of Fatboy Slim’s own dance-floor anthems, with warm undercurrents of the Latin rhythms that have percolated through Byrne’s recent solo work. The sunny arrangements act in counterpoint to the reality of the Marcos’ increasingly repressive regime, reflecting the imagined inner life of the glamour-obsessed Imelda. Explains Byrne, ‘For me, the darker side of the excesses are, for the most part, a matter of record. A lot of the audience is going to come with that knowledge already. What’s more of a challenge is to get inside the head of the person who was behind all of that, and understand what made them tick.’ Byrne offers no judgment and avoids the obvious – there is no mention of Imelda’s infamous shoe collection.
