An uptempo “electronic gospel” song about the act of songwriting and the human/technology tension that runs through the album, “Strange Overtones” premiered as a free DRM-free download and logged 40,000 downloads in its first three days. The track later appeared on the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps soundtrack alongside other Byrne/Eno cuts.
