You'll love this giant.

DALLAS — Collaborating for more than two years, former Dallas artist St. Vincent (Annie Clark) and David Byrne of the Talking Heads finally have an album to debut called Love This Giant. It will be released by 4AD/Todo Mundo on September 11.

"We decided to center the music around a brass band and began sending ideas back and forth in every form: wordless melodies, melody-less songs," Clark wrote in an email. "After a while, we had enough of a body of work that David, not one to do anything halfway, suggested we record it and put it out. I am very proud of what we created and excited for it to hit your ears."

Check out the just-released video for "Who":

Clark's tour begins June 20 in Barcelona, Spain, where she'll perform without Byrne. Their joint tour begins September 15 in Minneapolis, Minn., and stops in Dallas on October 7 at McFarlin Auditorium at SMU.

[UPDATE: Presale tickets are available at 10 a.m. Wednesday, June 20 here for all shows, including Dallas.]

The album has 10 collaborative songs and two from each musician on their own.

[UPDATE x2: Those who pre-order Love This Giant on ltg.com will get to hear a new track, "Weekend in the Dust." Your ears can also enjoy a track that was already posted, "Who."]
