Overview

• Byrne told followers on Instagram he is getting married this week and linked an Apple Music playlist for the wedding dinner.
• The playlist spans 42 tracks and is mostly instrumental, reflecting his view that lyrics can distract from conversation.
• Selections emphasize Latin and eclectic sounds, featuring El Alfa, Café Tacvba, Son Rompe Pera, Mexican Institute of Sound, and Meridian Brothers, plus Herbie Hancock, an instrumental of Post Malone’s Wow, and Brian Eno’s An Ending (Ascent).
• He previously referred to Mala Gaonkar as his fiancée in a Times interview after years of public appearances and creative collaborations together.
• Who Is The Sky? arrives Sept. 5 on Matador Records with a world tour beginning in the U.S. this month before UK dates in March 2026, as he again dismissed a full Talking Heads reunion as a “fool’s errand.”
