Description
“R.E.M.’s ‘Murmur,’ released in 1983 under I.R.S. Records (catalog number SP 70014), is a significant album in the history of alternative rock. It was recorded in January 1983 at Reflection Sound Studios in Charlotte, North Carolina, and presents a distinct sound that blends alternative rock, post-punk, and indie rock. This vinyl LP was mastered at Sterling Sound and pressed by RCA Records Pressing Plant in Indianapolis. It was manufactured and distributed by A&M Records, Inc. The album features the unique blend of jangling guitars and mumbled lyrics that would become R.E.M.’s signature sound. ‘Murmur’ received critical acclaim for its enigmatic lyrics and innovative sound, which stood in stark contrast to the more polished mainstream music of the early 1980s. It is often cited as one of the best albums of the decade, influencing numerous bands and helping to shape the sound of modern alternative rock”
