Talking Heads Reunite for New Book: 40 Years Later
21 Oct
Summary
- All four members collaborated on a new coffee-table book about the band.
- The book features handwritten lyrics, album sketches, and private photos.
- Its release coincides with the 50th anniversary of their debut LP.
The four members of Talking Heads have reunited to announce a comprehensive coffee-table book titled "Talking Heads: New Feeling," scheduled for release on May 18, 2026. This collaboration marks a rare occasion for the quartet to come together for such a project.
"New Feeling" will include handwritten lyrics for iconic songs, original album sketches, and private photographs, some of which have been archived for over 40 years. The book details their story as art students who evolved into a seminal band within the 1970s New York punk and new-wave scene.
This release is particularly noteworthy as it aligns with the 50th anniversary of their debut album, "Talking Heads: 77." The book also references the 2023 re-release of their concert film, "Stop Making Sense," which saw the band members making public appearances together for the first time in decades.
Further reunions occurred in September 2025 for a Sirius XM channel launch and moderated interview. The band also released a collection of early recordings, "Tentative Decisions: Demos & Live," and planned a re-release of their 1979 album, "Fear of Music."
