While David has collaborated on projects with Brian Eno, Fatboy Slim, and St. Vincent over the past few years, this new album is his first solo release since his Nonesuch debut with 'Grown Backwards' in 2004. The new album began with his long-time collaborator Brian Eno, then producer Rodaidh McDonald (The xx, King Krule, Sampha, Savages) became involved, along with other contributors such as Daniel Lopatin (AKA Oneohtrix Point Never), Jam City, Thomas Bartlett, Jack Peñate, Sampha, and many others. About 'American Utopia,' David Byrne states: "These songs don't describe this imaginary and perhaps impossible place, but rather try to describe the world we live in now - and this world, when we look at it, as we live it, as it affects us - immediately questions us, is there another way? A better way? A different way? These tracks are indirectly related to these questions. And to what compels us to ask these questions."
