A24 launched the information by way of a tweet with a cute little announcement video that includes David Byrne choosing up the now-infamous big swimsuit from the dry cleaners, joking that it has been there for a very long time. He takes it as much as what we assume is his house, the place he places it on and begins doing one of many bizarre wiggly dances he did within the movie. It is heartwarming to see Byrne again within the massive swimsuit, contemporary off of his hot-dog-fingered efficiency on the Oscars. Whereas Byrne has been lots busy, creating music for all the pieces from “Every part In every single place All At As soon as” to “John Mulaney’s Sack Lunch Bunch,” followers have not seen or heard an excessive amount of from the remainder of Speaking Heads in recent times, and it’ll really feel good to see all of them once more, even when it is simply within the outdated footage.
