Talking Heads – True Stories

Talking Heads – True Stories (1986)

Features the hit single "Wild Wild Life".

Released as a companion to David Byrne’s film of the same name, True Stories represents the band leaning into a more direct, American pop-rock sound. It balances their art-school eccentricity with catchy, radio-friendly melodies and a fascination with Americana. Tracks like "Wild Wild Life" and "Love for Sale" showcase a band having fun with their own formula. It matters as a snapshot of the band's late-80s creative curiosity. On vinyl, the clean, punchy production of the era is given a vibrant life. The analog format suits the bouncy rhythms and clear guitar tones, making for a joyous and energetic listening experience that highlights the band's tighter, more song-oriented direction.

• High-fidelity audiophile pressing
