Talking Heads
Talking Heads were an American rock band from New York City, best known for their art-school sensibility and innovative blend of punk, new wave, funk, and world music. With iconic songs like “Psycho Killer,” “Once in a Lifetime,” and “Burning Down the House,” they combined cerebral lyrics, David Byrne’s idiosyncratic vocals, and inventive rhythms to create a sound both quirky and intellectually engaging. Fearlessly experimental and visually striking, Talking Heads redefined what a rock band could be, leaving a lasting influence on alternative and art-rock music.
