Description
Fear of Music, the third album by Talking Heads, was recorded and released in 1979.
It is, like each of their first four albums, a masterpiece.
Edgy, paranoid, funky, addictive, rhythmic, repetitive, spooky, and fun - with Brian Eno's production, it's a record that bursts out of the downtown scene that birthed the band, and hints at the directions (positive and negative) they'd take in the near future.
Here, Jonathan Lethem takes us back to the late 1970s in New York City and situates Talking Heads as one of the most remarkable and enigmatic American bands.
Incorporating theory, fiction, and memoir, and placing Fear of Music alongside Fritz Lang, Edgar Allen Poe, Patti Smith, and David Foster Wallace.
Lethem's book is a virtuoso performance by a writer at the peak of his powers, tackling one of his great obsessions.
