SHORT TAKES : Talking Heads ‘in Hibernation’

Jerry Harrison, keyboardist and guitarist for Talking Heads, says the band is “officially in hibernation,” but no one is resting.

Harrison, 41, said he had hoped Talking Heads would put out an album this year, but “I didn’t get my way.”

“We’re not through as a band, but we’re not doing anything this year,” he said in the Aug. 6 issue of People magazine. The band’s last album, “Naked,” was released in 1988.

Harrison has another band, Casual Gods, which just released its third album, “Walk on Water,” and is touring this summer with the Tom Tom Club, led by fellow Talking Heads members Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth.

The other Talking Heads member, David Byrne, recently completed a concert tour.
