Waiting

by Fun Boy Three

Waiting cover art

Produced by Talking Heads' frontman David Byrne, this deeply atmospheric sophomore effort proved to be the final statement from the acclaimed Specials offshoot before their abrupt dissolution. 'Waiting' polishes their minimalist, percussion-heavy sound with lush brass sections and complex, worldbeat-inspired rhythms. The critically lauded album heavily features Terry Hall's deeply melancholic, politically conscious songwriting, brilliantly contrasting its danceable arrangements with profound existential gloom.
