Talking Heads are a New York-based band that emerged from the late 1970s post-punk and new wave scenes. They are best known for their art pop sensibilities and eclectic, danceable rhythms. In 1979, Talking Heads were solidifying their sound after their debut, moving away from the starker art-punk of their first album towards a more rhythmically complex and expansive style with this second album.
