Remain in Light

12 years, 10 months ago at May 14 5:24
It seems like a fool's errand to properly discuss a band like Talking Heads, let alone their fourth album Remain in Light, when so many hipster bands are aping their style and seemingly don't even know it.

" weird and funky, without even looking up their origins I could already sense a New York vibe, like the type of place Paul Hackett would find himself lost in."
