Overview
- The band announced the book in late October 2026 and Abrams Books will publish Talking Heads: New Feeling on May 18, 2027 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Talking Heads: 77.
- All four members — David Byrne, Tina Weymouth, Jerry Harrison and Chris Frantz — wrote new essays and helped curate archival material for the first fully authorized career-spanning volume.
- The book gathers previously unseen items including handwritten lyrics for songs like "Psycho Killer" and "Life During Wartime", original album sketches, annotated concert playlists and behind-the-scenes storyboards from Stop Making Sense and True Stories.
- Guest contributors include artists and writers such as Lorde, Debbie Harry, Jeff Bridges, Dave Eggers, Questlove and Karl Ove Knausgaard, and publishers have reported a large-format hardcover of roughly 368 pages plus limited-edition variants with extras.
- The release is part of a broader catalog activation that followed the 2023 Stop Making Sense re-release and recent remasters and a SiriusXM channel, and it reunites the members for promotional appearances without signaling a return to regular touring or recording together.
