On “Drugs,” they took a conventional backing track and systematically muted instruments, stripping away individual notes to force space into the mix. They also added a recording of koalas Byrne made on tour in Australia, and a guitar solo made from fragments of multiple solos. Byrne says: “Finally, I sang the song after jogging in the studio, because for some reason I wanted to sound out of breath.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eThe song gets its strength from the rhythm section, in particular Weymouth’s deceptively simple bass lines, pumped up by Eno. “I play bass much less delicately than [Byrne] plays guitar, but I think all singers need a depth of bass and drums behind them; it gives them more strength to scream.” \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eIn the liner notes, Hermes argues that New York City looms larger over this record than any other by the band: “Even the record’s packaging telegraphed it.” The distinctive matte-black, embossed sleeve was originally suggested by Harrison, who spotted a diamond tread pattern on the industrial rubber flooring in the loft of Yann Weymouth (Tina’s architect brother). Hermes adds, “[It] evokes all sorts of impenetrable, vaguely menacing urban ambience, from steel tread plates on trench covers and sidewalk curb ramps to those perilously omnipresent delivery truck
