Talk Talk – The Party’s Over (CD)

2022 marks the 40th anniversary of the debut album of one of the most critically acclaimed and pioneering bands to come out of the UK.

Talk TalksThe Partys Overwas a start of a journey for Mark Hollis (vocals), Simon Brenner (keyboards), Lee Harris (drums), and Paul Webb (bass) who constantly evolved throughout their career from synth-pop beginnings into pioneering avant-garde post-rock in the latter stages of the band, being a large influence on artists such as Radiohead, St. Vincent and many more.

The Partys Overwas produced by Colin Thurston, the former engineer for David Bowie but was better known for producing Duran Duran’s first two albums. Charting in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and USA, The Partys Over is classic synth-pop teamed with lyrical depth that went on to be synonymous with lead singer Mark Hollis.
