Talking Heads - Speaking In Tongues (180g Vinyl LP)

Released in 1983, Speaking in Tongues marked a commercial high point for Talking Heads, blending their art-rock sensibilities with funk-driven grooves and danceable rhythms. Building on the experimental foundations of their earlier work, the album leans into infectious basslines, layered percussion and David Byrne’s distinctive vocal delivery.

Featuring the iconic hit “Burning Down the House” alongside tracks like “Girlfriend Is Better” and “This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody),” the record balances quirky lyricism with tight, groove-oriented production. It’s one of the band’s most accessible and enduring releases.

Pressed on 180g heavyweight vinyl, this edition delivers warmth and clarity that perfectly suit the album’s rhythmic depth and dynamic arrangements. Presented brand new and sealed, it’s an essential addition for fans of new wave, art rock and classic ’80s vinyl.
