==Recording and release==
While discussing the 2006 remix of ''My Life in the Bush of Ghosts'' at a dinner party, Eno suggested finishing some songs that he had written but that did not have lyrics.〔 Byrne visited Eno's studio to listen to the demos and the two decided to collaborate to finish writing the songs. They continued working on the tracks in New York City and London, with regular e-mail correspondence to finish the composition.〔 Multi-instrumentalist and previous Eno collaborator Leo Abrahams performed guitar, percussion instruments, and piano in his London home studio and played guitar with Byrne on one occasion.〔 Abrahams would continue working on the tracks in his home studio through May 2008, with all collaborations being carried on via e-mail.〔
"Strange Overtones" is the first single off the album ''Everything That Happens Will Happen Today''. The track was released for free〔 on August 4, 2008, as a DRM-free MP3 available only through the album's website. This is part of the unorthodox Internet-based marketing scheme the two used to promote the album,〔 inspired by the success of Radiohead's 2007 album ''In Rainbows''〔 and the self-promotional strategies of Nine Inch Nails for the albums ''Year Zero'', ''Ghosts I–IV'', and ''The Slip''.〔 In September 2008, Jon Yeo created a music video for the track featuring the paintings of Eno.〔
A live recording of the song also appeared on ''Everything That Happens Will Happen on This Tour – David Byrne on Tour: Songs of David Byrne and Brian Eno'', released on May 11, 2009. The song was also featured on the soundtrack album to ''Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps'', along with several other David Byrne compositions.〔
