Talking Heads Album Covers,
In the late 1960s and early 70s, Talking Heads revolutionized album covers, pushing the boundaries of what could be art while still maintaining a rock & roll edge.
Talking Heads, with their distinctive visual style, were pioneers in this regard. One of their iconic albums is “Fear of Music,” featuring an album cover with a photograph of David Byrne, performing alongside three female dancers.(Follow on Instagram)
These album covers stand as some of Talking Heads’ most memorable work, showcasing the artistic talents of David Byrne and the band members. They offer a glimpse into Talking Heads’ creative process and how they infused their unique style into each album.
Known for their creative and intellectual lyrics, Talking Heads’ music is often described as psychedelic and, in some cases, avant-garde. However, their album covers have typically been minimalistic, with a few exceptions.(see the search results for covers)
