Celebrating Talking Heads' 'More Songs About Buildings and Food'
July 15, 2023

This week we’re celebrating the 45th anniversary of More Songs About Buildings and Food — the second studio album from new wave punk-funk-rock pioneers, Talking Heads. Released July 14, 1978, the album was a critical success, showcasing a more danceable style for the band – and included the band’s first top-thirty single, a cover of Al Green’s “Take Me to the River.”
