"I don't know how much influence we really had, because we never put our pictures on the albums or anything and we never really promoted the Talking Heads connection, because we wanted to keep it separate from Talking Heads"

Chris Frantz's quote speaks with the influence of the band Talking Heads, which he belonged of. He recommends that the band's influence was not as commonly known as it might have been, as they chose to keep their connection to Talking Heads different. This could be interpreted as an indication of humbleness, as the band wanted to be seen as its own entity, instead of as an extension of Talking Heads. It could also be seen as a method of safeguarding the Talking Heads brand name, as the band wanted to guarantee that their own work was seen as distinct from the work of Talking Heads. Eventually, the quote speaks to the band's desire to be seen as its own entity, and to be evaluated on its own merits.
