Reflecting on the lyrics to the Talking Heads iconic track “Once in a Lifetime,” David Byrne told NPR, “We’re largely unconscious. You know, we operate half awake or on autopilot and end up, whatever, with a house and family and job and everything else. We haven’t really stopped to ask ourselves, ‘How did I get here?”. The introspection of Byrne’s famous lyrics serve as an invitation to understanding the sonic roots of the Talking Heads’ fourth album Remain in Light. Fusing punk, rock, funk, Afrobeat and nascent hip-hop into their own language of New Wave music, the album exploded popular music’s sonic consciousness with a complex array of sounds and rhythms, and became one of the most influential albums of the decade.

The Talking Heads formed In 1975 when Byrne, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth, three art students from the Rhode Island School of Design, were living together in a communal loft in New York. The trio began playing at the famed CBGB club in 1977, opening for the Ramones for their first gig. Soon after, they brought in Jerry Harrison on keyboards. Their first album, Talking Heads: 77, contained the now legendary hit “Psycho Killer” which established the band as a leading voice in the emerging New Wave scene in New York.

Their next two albums were created in partnership with producer Brian Eno, a collaboration which suited the artistic and intellectual sensibilities of all involved. “You know what he reminded us of?” Weymouth told Search and Destroy in 1978, “A young Jesuit monk.” Similarly enthralled, Eno described the band’s music as “the product of some very active brains…constructing music in a kind of conceptual way.” However, by the end of the decade, and despite two artistically fruitful collaborations with Eno, the band still found itself at a bit of a crossroads. Eno and Byrne were busy working on a new experimental project together, and Harrison was producing an album for soul singer Nona Hendryx. In response, Frantz and Weymouth, who had married in 1977, decided to take a trip to the Bahamas to consider their place with the group. By this point, Byrne had become the group’s de facto leader – a dynamic which did not appeal to his old art-school classmates.

While in the Bahamas, Frantz and Weymouth spent time playing music with reggae rhythm musicians Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare, and exploring the cultural life of the region. Soon after, the pair purchased an apartment above Compass Point Studios in Nassau, where the Talking Heads would reconvene to create Remain in Light.
