Talking HeadsMore Songs About Buildings And Foodon 180g LP

Formed in NYC in the mid-70s by David Byrne, Chris Franz, Tina Weymouth, and ex-Modern Lover Jerry Harrison,Talking Headssoared out of their humble CBGBs beginnings to become Rock and Roll Hall of Famers and one of the most adventurous and influential bands of all-time.
TheTalking Headsrecorded their second album in March of 1978 at Compass Point Studio’s in the Bahamas. For a band with their roots and soul firmly in Manhattan, such a location might have been disorientating; but the addition ofBrian Eno– ex-Roxy Music keyboardist and pioneer of discreet music – as co-producer sharpened the band’s sound rather than diluting it.
More Songs About Buildings And Food– the title satirized the group’s offbeat subject matter on their debut album – made one commercial concession, including a cover version of Al Green’s “Take Me To The River.” This proved to be a perfect vehicle for the group’s faintly R&B-flavored sound, and it provided them with a U.S. hit single, reaching #26.
The album hardened the sound of the debut LP, with Jerry Harrison’s guitar making its presence felt. David Byrne’s songs were equally uncompromising, however, and althoughBrian Eno’sproduction gave the group a richer feel than ever before, they were still far removed from the kind of music that most ‘new wave’ artists were unveiling.
