Talk Talk was an English music group that was formed in 1981. Principal members included singer/songwriter Mark Hollis, producer and co-writer Tim Friese-Greene, bassist Paul Webb, and drummer Lee Harris. The group is known for their early synthpop/New Wave singles, including "Today," "It's My Life," and "Life's What You Make It." They are also recognized as forerunners to the post-rock genre for their later experimental albums.

Though they were identified with the New Wave movement and bands such as Duran Duran, Talk Talk had a progressive depth their contemporaries lacked. With the addition of unofficial fourth member Tim Friese-Greene in 1983, replacing Simon Brenner on keyboards and becoming producer for the band, each successive Talk Talk release became more sophisticated and original.
