A cornerstone of 1980s art rock and new wave, Speaking In Tongues captures Talking Heads at their creative peak — balancing funk, rhythm, and experimentation in perfect sync. Featuring the iconic single “Burning Down the House,”this album marked a bold evolution in the band’s sound under David Byrne’s inventive direction.
This pressing delivers the dynamic energy and textured production that defined the band’s later live performances and inspired Stop Making Sense.
