Background notes
Archive material and source history
The Elms formed in Philadelphia in 1985, with Chris Frantz, Tina Weymouth, Jerry Harrison, and David Byrne coming together from childhood friendships. Their debut album 'Music for the Masses' arrived in 1987, featuring the single 'You Got No Room To Talk!' which became something of an anthem for its direct lyrics and energy.
Their sound drew from post-punk, funk, and various world music influences, creating records that didn't settle into one category. They worked with producers and musicians like Brian Eno and Adrian Belew, which pushed their material in different directions from album to album. Songs like 'A Minute To Ourselves' and 'Black Peach' show that range.
The band was known for being outspoken, both in their lyrics and in interviews, which sometimes drew criticism alongside the praise. They stopped working together in 1991, but their records, particularly 'Remain in Light' and the live album 'Stop Making Sense,' have kept a steady audience since.
