Jittery new wave meets foundational funk. Brian Eno's production adds a lush, rhythmic depth to David Byrne's observational urban neurosis.

Rhythmic breakthrough
A nervous, twitching guitar line collides with a bassline that makes your hips swing before your brain can process the friction. The air in these tracks is thick with humid, synthetic heat, smelling of hot asphalt and cheap studio coffee. You are dropped directly into a crowded city sidewalk where every neon sign flickers in double-time. It is a jittery, sweat-slicked dance party held in a fluorescent-lit office, where the rhythm section finally takes control of the panic.
The band elevates their signature twitchy energy into a state of high-tension anxious urgency, transforming intellectual panic into an irresistible, sweat-slicked dance floor groove.
