Remain In Light — Talking Heads

Eight people arguing themselves into a groove

Rated 10.0 / 10

The miracle is not the polyrhythms, it is that a band this anxious made music this physical! The lyrics circle dread — drift, water, the once-in-a-lifetime shock of your own house — while the arrangements refuse to sit still long enough for dread to settle. Body music for people who think too much. No record has managed that balance as completely since.
