David Byrne and Fatboy Slim's upcoming collaboration, Here Lies Love, will be released in the US on April 6. In the meantime, you can stream the album in its entirety at NPR Music's First Listen at npr.org

The album, a double-disc song cycle, explores the life of Filipino first lady Imelda Marcos and her childhood servant, Estrella Cumpas, with each song on the album's two CDs representing a different aspect of the complicated tale of Marcos's rise to power. "Part art project, part all-star indie gathering," according to a recent review in Billboard, "the 22-track tribute features a diverse mix of thoughtful ballads and disco-influenced dance numbers."; guest singers include Tori Amos, Steve Earle, Cyndi Lauper, Natalie Merchant, Kate Pierson, Santigold, and St. Vincent.

Byrne brought the album with him to Monocle magazine's weekly radio show, which was celebrating its one-year anniversary. You can listen to the program at monocle.com. Byrne's segment begins about 12 minutes in.
