R.E.M.Murmur

The jangly, mysterious debut that quietly launched American college rock. Peter Buck's chiming Rickenbacker rings out on 'Radio Free Europe' and 'Talk About the Passion', while Michael Stipe mumbles cryptic poetry just below the surface, drawing you in close to decipher it. Everything sounds hazy, Southern, and half-dreamed. A landmark of understatement that rewired what a rock band could be.
