David Byrne has covered Paramore’s “Hard Times!”
Although, still a surprise it's not necessarily unexpected, as Paramore covered the Talking Heads’ classic “Burning Down the House,” in January. This latest release is just in time for a 12" release on the already well populated Record Store Day.
“The band told me that their song ‘Hard Times’ was inspired by Talking Heads, so I learned it and recorded my version of their great song with a horn section. This was fun!” Byrne wrote.
Paramore’s Talking Heads cover will appear on Everyone’s Getting Involved: A Tribute to Talking Heads’ Stop Making Sense, A24’s compilation which features The National, Lorde, and Miley Cyrus.
