I was kind of interested in this one from reading a Talking Heads biography a while back. The band features Jerry Harrison (from the Heads), and a member of the Cars, However, it's a totally different beast to either of those bands. The band/album wears its Velvet Underground heart on its sleeve with lo-fi jangly rock. The first track, (covered by both the Sex Pistols and Bowie) pretty much just moves back and forth between two chords.
The lyrics are street poetry delivered in a Lou Reed-esque drawl with a lot of focus on women and 'modern love', while also still loving the old ways.
