David Byrne has shared another selection from his forthcoming solo album, Who Is the Sky? Inspired by Rebecca Solnit’s essay collection Men Explain Things to Me, “She Explains Things to Me” follows last month’s lead single “Everybody Laughs.” Hear the new track below.
“Many times I have marveled at how a friend (usually a female friend) seems to clock what is going on in a film between characters way before I do,” Byrne said in a press statement. “Sometimes I understand poetry, but sometimes I need help. Though inspired by the Solnit book Men Explain Things to Me there is a huge difference—mansplaining is usually unasked for, in this case I am the one asking.”
Who Is the Sky? is out September 5 via Matador. It follows 2018’s American Utopia.
