David Byrne was a guest on NPR's World Cafe today. He spoke with host Talia Schlanger about his new album, American Utopia, its ongoing tour, and more. His "creativity knows no bounds," says Schlanger. "Exploration, freedom, and a sense of awe rule the day. David Byrne collects wonder from the world around him and sets it to music." You can listen to the conversation below.

The "American Utopia show is, quite simply, a wonder of imagination, ambition and execution, a frequently breathtaking celebration of the miracle of life, even with all of humanity’s trials and tribulations," exclaims the Los Angeles Times in a review of last Saturday's show at the Shrine. "Byrne remains an absolute master of the theater of live music, and his latest is no exception: American Utopia is a joy to behold." Read the complete review at latimes.com.
