Fear Of Music is the groundbreaking third studio album by Talking Heads and one of the defining releases of the post-punk era. Produced by Brian Eno and Talking Heads, the album broadened the band's sonic palette with funk-inspired rhythms, experimental textures and darker lyrical themes. Featuring the classic singles Life During Wartime and Cities, alongside standout tracks including I Zimbra, Mind, Air, Heaven and Drugs, it is widely regarded as one of the most influential albums of the late 1970s.
