Everything That Happens Will Happen
Today
Suma
Even when he worked on arguably Talking Heads’ three greatest
albums, Brian Eno fashioned himself more of an auxiliary ‘Head’ than a traditional producer.
So it’s a bit surprising that Everything That Happens
feels more like an Eno-produced David Byrne project than an equal collaboration. Though the old friends
crafted their songs together and Eno’s trademarks are all there—the lush
soundscapes, noise collages and ambient weirdness—Everything That Happens owes much more to Byrne’s
vocal-heavy, baroque, classical/rock hybrid Grown Backwards than either
Talking Heads’ jittery Eno-period or the pair’s previous album, 1981’s
experimental My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Not that there’s anything wrong with that: Eno has spent the past three decades producing some of
rock’s most polished singers, just as Byrne has spent the past three decades
trying to convince the world he’s voice is better suited for Carnegie Hall than
CBGB.
