UNCUT: “TALKING HEADS’ reunion last September, for a brief press tour to support
the re-release of Jonathan Demme’s Stop Making Sense concert film, was one of music’s most unlikely comebacks.

Here, after all, were a band who’d not just split acrimoniously – as recently as 2020, while promoting his Remain In Love memoir, Chris Frantz snipped at former bandmate David Byrne, “He can’t imagine that anyone else would be important” – but who had also moved creatively into very different spaces.

Yet, coming together to celebrate their landmark movie, being in one another’s company for a period clearly found them reaching an accord. “We didn’t hate each other,” Tina Weymouth confides to Sam Richards in this month’s cover story. “We were just annoyed!”

“So as Byrne, Jerry Harrison, Weymouth and Frantz reveal their plans for the next phase in
their band’s unexpected afterlife, we celebrate the 30 greatest songs by these pioneering outsiders – from the twitchy minimalism of their early records to the Technicolour blowouts of their commercial peak. It’s their first Uncut cover story, so we’re especially proud of this one.”

Also new album reviews and features with John Fahey, Mike Scott,
Kim Gordon, J Mascis, Mud, Dion, Michael Moorcock and more.
