A review by funkyspacerat
American Utopia by David Byrne, Maira Kalman

5.0

It's honestly amazing and impressive how so many ideas are conveyed through such a simple idea; that being taking a few lyrics from songs performed during the American Utopia tour Byrne did, and pairing them with illustrations done by Maira Kalman. It's a work about the importance of community, the foolishness of fascism, and the beauty that humans can create when we work together, and the fact it can portray all that using so little is fascinating honestly. Highly recommend it!
