with Sinkane, Talking Heads' David Byrne, St Vincent, and Vagabon
This week's host, Sinkane, welcomes Talking Heads' David Byrne, St Vincent, and Vagabon.
This edition of Music Life mixes the contemporary with the legendary.
Along with hearing lots of the group鈥檚 music, they鈥檒l discuss feeling the pressure to do something different, what American identity is and how it shows in their work, and whether they make music to make people think, or move their feet.

She鈥檚 since released six albums including 鈥楲ove This Giant鈥�, a collaboration with David Byrne, and she completely shreds on the guitar!
