Talking Heads - Remain in Light
Genre: New Wave, Post-Punk
Year: 1980
About: Talking Heads' fourth album really shows them having fully developed their own style. Produced by Brian Eno, this album is full of otherworldly sounds that meld into the mix. This is their most funky outing yet. David Byrne's lyrics contain elements of free-association and stream of conciousness style writing. Latin percussion also has a part in this album's sound. Thought provoking lyrics turn "heads" to the true meaning of this record. Upbeat guitars and swirling blissful electronics back many of the songs, with the last being a more slow almost Joy Division-esque outing. Great songwriting from beginning to end.
Sounds Like: Devo, Television, Gang of Four, Oingo Boingo, Elvis Costello
