David Byrne's second post-Talking Heads album was recorded with a smaller band than he used for Rei Momo. It was more 'back to Talking Heads' and more pop oriented than all his solo efforts till date.

Among the personal are ex-Meters bassplayer George Porter Jr., background vocalists Dolette McDonald and Nona Hendrix, trumpeter Angel Fernandez and Tom Ze.

To promote the album, Byrne & his new band toured around the world ("Monster in the Mirror Tour") and released the live-video 'Between the Teeth' at the end of it (available on VHS and laserdisk)
