Gravity Talks is the debut album by American rock band Green on Red, released in 1983. [6]
Gravity Talks was recorded at Quad Teck Studios in Los Angeles. [7]
The Guardian wrote: "This is music made by high-school geeks who dream of being desperadoes. The result was a brilliant, misguided wreck, halfway to Tulsa when the wheels fell off." [8] Trouser Press wrote that "at the LP’s relative weirdest, Chris Cacavas’ organ- playing sounds like several genres from the ’60s, but only mildly." [1] The Washington Post thought that Green on Red "has fashioned a ragged, primitive musical attack to complement nerve-wracking original songs." [9]
All songs written by Dan Stuart, Chris Cacavas, Jack Waterson, and Alex MacNicol.
