David Byrne and Fatboy Slim team up to do album about Imelda Marcos

David Byrne and Fatboy Slim are teaming up to put out a full album about Imelda Marcos. The line up of singers is quite amazing: Florence Welch, Annie Clark(St. Vincent), Cyndi Lauper, Santigold, Tori Amos, Martha Wainwright, Nellie Mckay, Allison Moorer, Steve Earl, and the list goes on and on. The opening single Here Lies Love with Florence is pretty amazing. This could be one of the most interesting albums of the year. It is released April 6th, but you can hear some of the tracks here at the official website:

David Byrne spends a lot of time talking about this album in his new book. I got soooooo excited when I read about it.
