***Gravity Talks*** is the debut album by American [rock](/source/Rock_music) band [Green on Red](/source/Green_on_Red), released in 1983.[2]

## Production

*Gravity Talks* was recorded at Quad Teck Studios in Los Angeles.[3]

## Critical reception

*[The Guardian](/source/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."[4] *[Trouser Press](/source/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](/source/The_Washington_Post)* thought that Green on Red "has fashioned a ragged, primitive musical attack to complement nerve-wracking original songs."[5]
