Unlikely (but extremely likeable) bedfellows David Byrne and Annie "St. Vincent" Clark stopped by Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to hang out with Elvis Costello… I mean, erm, to perform two songs from their boisterously fantastic new collaborative album Love This Giant (out today; check out our review below).

Album Review: David Byrne and St. Vincent – Love This Giant (Grade: A)
Now, I've made my not-so-secret-anymore feelings about St. Vincent known in the past (they involve a lot of heavy sighing), but I've got to say, Mr. David Byrne has got it… well, going on as well. Looking increasingly like Mad Men's Roger Sterling after a few too many acid trips and with that full horn section behind him, Byrne manages to bring back the spastic strut Stop Making Sense glory days with a few shakes of the hips and a few strums of the guitar.
Annie Clark, meanwhile… goodness gracious grief, I simply can't handle her little mod squad dance or whatever it is she's doing with her hands and every musical note that comes out of her. (Including that gnarly, wiry little guitar solo. More please!) If you haven't checked out the album, do yourself a major favor and pick up a copy today. Get your best "huh!" grunting ready.
In the meantime, though, check both Late Night performances out below.
