Talk Talk | What Can In Another World Tell Us About Talk Talk?

What does In Another World reveal about one of the most intriguing bands of the last forty years?In this episode of Low Noise, we discuss Graeme Thomson’s In Another World: The Four Seasons of Talk Talk, a book that traces the remarkable evolution of Talk Talk, from their early synth-pop beginnings to the increasingly ambitious, uncompromising music of The Colour of Spring, Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock.We explore Thomson’s portrait of Mark Hollis and the band, the decisions and circumstances that shaped their changing sound, and what the book adds to our understanding of a group that seemed determined to move further away from what was expected of them.Is the familiar story of Talk Talk’s transformation quite as straightforward as we think, and what does In Another World reveal when we look again?In this episode I am in discussion with Dr. Andrew Webber.https://www.facebook.com/share/1F15mx4ea3/https://buymeacoffee.com/lownoiseWhy buy me a coffee?Low Noise is proudly ad-free.
