Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Talking Heads met at art school and took the 70s New York scene by storm. They honed their sound as a trio before adding a 4th member and heading into the studio to record their debut album 77. The team discuss Spotify easter eggs, the melodic role of the bass guitar, and Lou Reed's sage advice to David Byrne.
