David Byrne releases a deluxe edition of his album Who Is the Sky?, adding four bonus tracks to the original release. The expanded version is made available for streaming, marking a continuation of the album’s rollout following Byrne’s later-stage activity around the project.
Original sources describe Who Is the Sky? as Byrne’s first album in seven years. It is recorded with producer Kid Harpoon, and the album includes guest appearances from artists including Hayley Williams and St. Vincent. Since the standard edition’s release, Byrne is reported to be touring with a new, elaborate live show and has also taken on other recent musical projects, including a cover of Olivia Rodrigo and a track built around Elon Musk quotes.
While outlets differ in how they frame Byrne’s recent activities, they align on the core announcement: the deluxe edition features four additional tracks and is tied to a milestone timeframe after the original album’s release. One source also notes the deluxe edition coincides with the album’s one-year anniversary.
