If you dance, you'll understand the lyrics better. A comic by Lorenzo Montatore about Talking Heads

    An immersion into the music of Talking Heads

    Established in 1975, Talking Heads stood out as one of the most unconventional and innovative bands in the music industry, thanks to their experimental approach and incorporation of influences from various disciplines and styles. From their debut performance at CBGB's in New York, where they opened for the Ramones in 1975, to the première of Jonathan Demme's film Stop Making Sense in 1984, and their collaborations with Brian Eno, the group led by David Byrne showcased a unique blend of talent, humour and irony, leaving behind a lasting legacy that continues to resonate today. 

    In If you dance, you'll understand the lyrics better, Lorenzo Montatore delves into the music and history of the iconic band, weaving together real-life anecdotes with fictional storylines and personal experiences related to the band's music and world, which are already grained in the collective consciousness. The author of Aquí hay avería emphasizes the significance of music in our lives and pens a heartfelt tribute to his favourite band, opting for an original approach that strays from the conventional biography format and instead showcases a range of graphic and narrative techniques that only a selected few comic artists possess.
