About this album
Close To The Bone is a sharp, inventive follow-up that shows Tom Tom Club refining their blend of funk, dub and synth-pop without losing its playful edge. Released in 1983, the album builds on the New York art-funk energy that made the group stand out from the wider post-punk scene, pairing rhythmic bass grooves with nimble keyboards, vocal hooks and a sense of offbeat fun. Songs such as Pleasure of Love and Atsababy! (Life Is Great) underline the band’s gift for turning dance-floor ideas into something sly, quirky and memorable. It is a confident second album that helped cement Tom Tom Club’s cult status.
