For a band whose roots and soul were firmly planted in Manhattan, such a tropical location could have been disorienting. However, the addition of Brian Eno—former Roxy Music keyboardist and a pioneer of ambient music—as co-producer helped sharpen the band's sound rather than dilute it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"633\" data-end=\"991\"\u003eThe album’s title humorously referenced the band’s offbeat lyrical themes, carried over from their debut. One notable commercial concession was a cover of Al Green’s “Take Me to the River,” which proved to be a perfect match for the band’s subtly R\u0026amp;B-inflected sound. The track became a breakthrough U.S. hit single, peaking at No. 26 on the Billboard chart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"993\" data-end=\"1423\"\u003eSonically, \u003cem data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1041\"\u003eMore Songs About Buildings and Food\u003c\/em\u003e presented a harder edge compared to their debut, with Jerry Harrison’s guitar taking a more prominent role. David Byrne’s songwriting remained as idiosyncratic and uncompromising as ever. Although Brian Eno’s production added a richer, more layered texture to the band’s sound, Talking Heads still stood well apart from the prevailing wave of new wave artists emerging at the time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rhino","offers":[{"title":"4LP - Black","offer_id":51915317772619,"sku":"R5661-4559","price":159.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3CD + Blu Ray","offer_id":51915317870923,"sku":"R5661-0369","price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2LP - Red","offer_id":51915317805387,"sku":"R5661-2961","price":47.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"2LP - Black","offer_id":51915317838155,"sku":"R5661-0137","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/2000x2000bb_1803300d-4fe3-4fa8-bc33-b2410ab3dbaf.jpg?v=1748449900","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/de\/products\/more-songs-about-buildings-and-food-deluxe-edition","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
