Talking Heads Book New Feeling Set for May 2027
New Feeling, a book about Talking Heads featuring original essays, handwritten lyrics, annotated concert setlists, artwork, storyboards and previously unseen photographs, will be published on May 18, 2027, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the band's debut album.
New Feeling will be published on May 18, 2027, marking the 50th anniversary of Talking Heads: 77, the band's debut album. The book follows David Byrne's most recent book, Sleeping Beauties, and will feature original essays by every member of Talking Heads and their musical contemporaries.
The book will include handwritten song lyrics, annotated concert setlists, early designs for the band's debut album cover, storyboards from the films Stop Making Sense and True Stories, and previously unseen photographs.
New Feeling will trace Talking Heads' history from its formation at the Rhode Island School of Design to New York's CBGB music scene. It will cover the band's studio albums, international tours and hits such as Burning Down the House, with its narrative extending to Jonathan Demme's 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense.
Pre-orders for New Feeling are available through publisher Abrams Books. Talking Heads' reunions have continued intermittently over the past several years.
