Other chart debuts this include locals Proud Parents on the recently-relocated to Madison Dirtnap Records label, Angelique Kidjo‘s Benin-flavored tribute to the Talking Heads album Remain in Light, and if you haven’t had enough Heads lately there’s Mystic Bowie with their new album Talking Dreads, which of course is a reggae tribute to the band.
