Download or read book R.E.M.'s Murmur written by J. Niimi and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2005-04-28 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: R.E.M.'s debut album, released in 1983, was so far removed from the prevailing trends of American popular music that it still sounds miraculous and out of time today. J. Niimi tells the story of the album's genesis - with fascinating input from Don Dixon and Mitch Easter. He also investigates Michael Stipe's hypnotic, mysterious lyrics, and makes the case for Murmur as a work of Southern Gothic art.
