The record

Title: Talking Heads – Fear Of Music

Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1979 / Post-Punk / Art Punk / New York City

Matrix #: SRK 6076

Condition: NM

Cultural Facts:

  1. Studio Lore Brian Eno pushed the band into colder, more paranoid territory; the album’s tight, nervous feel was a deliberate break from standard rock polish.

  2. Personal Struggle David Byrne’s writing here drew heavily from anxiety, alienation, and urban dread, turning private unease into the album’s central theme.

  3. Media Narrative The embossed black cover was designed to feel hostile and anti-commercial, matching a record that helped make art-school anxiety part of post-punk culture.

    This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.

    Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
