This Week’s New Reviews: Byrne & Eno, The Academy Is… and More

8/19/08, 1:10 pm EST

David Byrne’s first collaboration with producer Brian Eno in over two decades leads this week’s big batch of new reviews. Will Hermes says Everything That Happens Will Happen Today “recalls the three Talking Heads records that Eno produced, played on and/or wrote: 1978’s More Songs About Buildings and Food, 1979’s Fear of Music and 1980’s Remain in Light…a radiantly tuneful set.” Click below for the full review of Everything, as well as the rest of this week’s new reviews, including Ra Ra Riot’s excellent debut, the catchy new album from the Academy Is…, Ice Cube’s surprisingly great Raw Footage and Lykke Li’s buzzworthy Youth Novels.
