Description

Murmur is R.E.M.’s enigmatic debut album — a cornerstone of college rock and a blueprint for the American indie sound. This remastered reissue is pressed on standard black vinyl, housed in a single sleeve replicating the original artwork. The album’s signature style blends Michael Stipe’s cryptic vocals, Peter Buck’s chiming guitar, and Mike Mills’ melodic basslines, creating a sound that’s both mysterious and emotionally resonant.

Produced by Don Dixon and Mitch Easter, Murmur features timeless tracks like “Radio Free Europe,” “Talk About The Passion,” “Perfect Circle,” and “Shaking Through.” Its lo-fi charm and lyrical ambiguity helped define the underground music scene of the 1980s and earned it critical acclaim, including Rolling Stone’s Album of the Year in 1983.
