Almost three decades since Brian Eno and David Byrne worked together on Talking Heads records, and 27 years after the original release of My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, the pair are collaborating together again.

After performing with Paul Simon April 9 at a Brooklyn Academy of Music event, Byrne told NME.com his current plans include "finishing up a record with Brian Eno, a musician that I worked with 30 years ago. We did a record together of songs, and that'll come out." He added, "I'm also working on a collaboration with Fatboy Slim, also songs. I don't know when that'll be done, but sometime."

Byrne expounded upon the new collaboration with Eno to the New York Daily News (via the Daily Swarm): "Brian had written a lot of music but needed some words, which I know how to do. What's it sound like? Electronic gospel. That's all I'm saying."

The Daily Swarm reports that the Byrne/Eno album will come out via Nonesuch before the end of 2008. Also, a joint U.S. tour with a setlist of "at least 40% Eno-era Talking Heads material" is in the works.

For now, the only known show from either artist is Byrne's appearance at the Austin City Limits Music Festival in September. Meanwhile, Byrne is busy worrying about the mortgage crisis and Eno is working with U2. Eno also helped out Coldplay on their forthcoming album.
