It was Frith's third solo album, and was originally released in the United States on LP record on The Residents' Ralph record label. It was the second of three solo albums Frith made for the label. Speechless was recorded in France, Switzerland and the United States, and featured Frith with French Rock in Opposition group Etron Fou Leloublan on the first side of the LP, and Frith's New York City band Massacre on the second. It is mostly a studio album with extracts from a Massacre concert mixed into four of the tracks on side two of the LP. Speechless has been described as a mixture of folk music, free improvisation, avant-rock and noise. AllMusic said that it is often regarded as one of Frith's best solo albums.

Speechless è il terzo album in studio solista del chitarrista, compositore e improvvisatore inglese Fred Frith, ex-membro degli Henry Cow e degli Art Bears. Pubblicato nel 1981, fu il secondo di tre dischi dell'artista pubblicati dalla Ralph Records, etichetta discografica statunitense di proprietà del gruppo d'avanguardia The Residents, preceduto da Gravity (1980) e seguito da (1983). L'opera venne registrata in vari luoghi in Francia, Svizzera e Stati Uniti con diversi musicisti: il primo lato dell'LP venne suonato in collaborazione con la band francese Rock in Opposition Etron Fou Leloublan, mentre quattro tracce del secondo contengono degli estratti da un concerto del complesso di Frith di New York City , mixati con del materiale inciso in studio. Speechless venne definito «un contenitore più variegato e caotico» di folk, improvvisazione libera, avant-rock e noise, alla cui base sono presenti delle registrazioni su nastro manipolate e stravolte, soprattutto di folle di persone riprese in svariati luoghi, quali strade urbane e festival. Venne positivamente accolto dalla critica musicale, che lo considerò uno dei migliori lavori solisti del musicista, per la sua ironia e la sua varietà stilistica. Fu stampato per la prima volta nel 1991 in CD dall'etichetta austriaca RecRec Music con sei tracce bonus e fu ridistribuito in versione rimasterizzata anche in vinile nel 2003 da .
