The album continued the rhythmic innovation of Remain in Light, but in a more stripped-down, rigid pop song structure. In 1983, the band parted ways with Eno and released their fifth album, Speaking in Tongues (1983). During their hiatus, the live album The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads (1982), was released it features live recordings of songs from their four albums to date, as well as the previously unreleased song "A Clean Break".
After Remain in Light, the band went on a three-year hiatus and worked on solo projects. Often classified as their magnum opus and one of the best albums of the 1980s, the album integrated several new musicians, including a horn section, which helped the band further experiment on their African-style rhythms and their use of funk, pop, and electronics. The style and sound of Fear of Music was expanded upon on their final Eno collaboration, Remain in Light (1980). The experimentation continued on Fear of Music (1979), in which the band began utilizing African-styled polyrhythms, most notably on the album's opening track " I Zimbra". Its songs are characterized as more polished than its predecessor, emphasizing experimentation and the rhythm section, as well as the genres of art pop and funk. The band's follow-up, More Songs About Buildings and Food (1978), began the band's string of collaborations with producer Brian Eno. While initially not a big hit, the album was aided by the single " Psycho Killer". The album contained "stripped down rock & roll" songs and was notable for its "odd guitar-tunings and rhythmic, single note patterns" and its "non-rhyming, non-linear lyrics". Īfter leaving art school, Talking Heads released their debut single, " Love → Building on Fire", in early 1977, followed by their debut album, Talking Heads: 77, later that year. The group has been described as "one of the most acclaimed bands of the post-punk era" by AllMusic and among the most "adventurous" bands in rock history by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Talking Heads were an American new wave band who, between 19, recorded 96 songs, 12 of which were not officially released until after their break-up. L–R: Jerry Harrison, Chris Frantz, David Byrne, and Tina Weymouth.
