Uh‐oh

David Byrne

A high-energy collision of Afro-Caribbean rhythms and sharp-edged 90s art-rock. Intellectual, brassy, and deeply concerned with the oddities of modern identity.

March 3, 1992 · Luaka Bop

An energetic and intellectually curious exploration of modern life's absurdities through a lens of global rhythm.

Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive brass section entry on 'The Cowboy Mambo' that transforms a quirky vocal into a full-blown dance floor anthem.
The jarringly literal and deadpan delivery of the surgical lyrics in 'Now I'm Your Mom' over a deceptively upbeat groove.
The way the rhythmic tension in 'Twistin' in the Wind' mirrors the political anxiety of the lyrics before breaking into a defiant chorus.
