David Byrne’s “What Is The Reason For It” is exactly what you’d expect from a man who’s been asking the universe weirdly profound questions since the Reagan era — and somehow still hasn’t gotten a straight answer. It’s hypnotic, oddly funky, and layered with the kind of lyrical riddles that make you wonder if you’re missing something… or if that’s the whole point.
Only David Byrne could turn existential confusion into something that grooves. He’s not here to explain life — he’s here to soundtrack it while you try to make sense of the madness.
