Talking Heads – More Songs About Buildings And Food

Description

It was the first of three albums produced by collaborator Brian Eno, and saw the band move toward a danceable style, crossing singer David Byrne’s unusual delivery with new emphasis on the rhythm section composed of bassist Tina Weymouth and drummer Chris Frantz.

More Songs established Talking Heads as a critical success, reaching number 29 on the US Billboard Pop Albums chart t. The album featured the band’s first top-thirty single, a cover of Al Green’s “Take Me to the River”.

The front cover of the album, conceived by Byrne and executed by artist Jimmy De Sana, is a photomosaic of the band comprising 529 close-up Polaroid photographs.
