David Byrne - Big Love Hymnal (Music CD)
RELEASE DATE: 8/19/2008
David Byrne's Big Love: Hymnal contains the original instrumental score to the 2nd season of the popular HBO series Big Love along with other recent compositions. This collection contains the first new songs from David Byrne since his 2004 release Grown Backwards. "I had an idea to base my scoring loosely on Mormon hymns. That would presumably hint at the unspoken spiritual underpinnings that motivate many of the characters actions" or justify them, in some characters' cases. I got hymnals and Mormon Hymns CDs, read up on the Mormon Church and began to practice writing 'fake' hymns."
