remembrance of clubs past


An archeology of dusty music, shuttered-up clubs, and empty dance floors.

David Byrne & Fatboy Slim - Here Lies Love (featuring Florence Welch [Florence + the Machine])

“The story I am interested in is about asking what drives a powerful person—what makes them tick? How do they make and then remake themselves? I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be great if—as this piece would be principally composed of clubby dance music—one could experience it in a club setting? Could one bring a ‘story’ and a kind of theater to the disco? Was that possible? If so, wouldn’t that be amazing!”

—David Byrne, on his album, Here Lies Love
