David Byrne Will Rejoin Arcade Fire

7:00 AM EDT on May 10, 2011

Arcade Fire regularly covered Talking Heads’ ‘This Must Be The Place (Na’‘ve Melody) early in its career and David Byrne himself joined the group for a version of the song at New York’s Irving Plaza in 2005. Byrne will collaborate with the group again on the re-release of its 2009 album The Suburbs. The Talking Heads frontman will sing with the band on ‘Speaking In Tongues,’ a song that shares a name with the 1983 Talking Heads album. The re-issue will also feature the previously unreleased ‘Culture War’ as well as a   DVD featuring the Spike Jonze-directed documentary Scenes From The Suburbs.
