Talking Heads are getting the band back together—for a new book. David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Jerry Harrison, and Chris Frantz have announced Talking Heads: New Feeling , set to arrive on May 18. The release date also marks the 50th anniversary of the group’s debut album, Talking Heads: 77 .

“For this book, we pulled out handwritten lyrics, original album sketches, and private photos, some of which haven’t left our archive in over 40 years,” Harrison told publisher Abrams Books in an interview today. New Feeling features original essays from all four members, plus contributions from Lorde, Debbie Harry, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Jeff Bridges, and more.

The new book also gathers behind-the-scenes photos from the 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense , which returned to theaters for a limited engagement in 2023.…
