Talking Heads' nervy, brilliant 1977 debut Talking Heads: 77: "Psycho Killer," "Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town," "The Book I Read" and "Don't Worry About the Government."
Talking Heads: 77 introduced David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz and Jerry Harrison as CBGB's smartest, quirkiest band, and "Psycho Killer" is an all-time classic.
Recorded at Sundragon Studios in New York, the debut set the template for art-punk and new wave: twitchy rhythms, crisp, clean guitars, Weymouth's lithe basslines and Byrne's wide-eyed, offbeat vocals.
"Psycho Killer" is an icon with its unforgettable bassline, "Uh-Oh, Love Comes to Town" bounces with steel drums, "The Book I Read" and "Pulled Up" are giddy, and "Don't Worry About the Government" is wonderfully sincere.
The debut that introduced Byrne, Weymouth, Frantz and Harrison. Nervous energy, perfectly channelled.
