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.
