The definitive oral history of the New Romantics.

Jones D: Sweet Dreams

Sweet Dreams

From Club Culture to Style Culture, the Story of the New Romantics

A dazzlingly original reassessment of the power and plurality of women's singing voices by the critically acclaimed author of Art Monsters and Scaffolding 'It took me ten years to go from shy young girl to punk rocker, if I'd had this book I'd have got there much quicker' Viv Albertine For millennia, women's raised voices have been heard as unruly, uncivilized, dangerous. Women singing were cast as sirens: mythical creatures who lured sailors to their death. In Vocal Break, Lauren Elkin seamlessly blends memoir, feminist manifesto and cultural history to explore a plurality of female singing voices - and how women have used them to defy convention, genre, capitalism, racism and sexism. Drawing on her own experiences training as a young soprano in the 1990s, Elkin reflects on the way power and identity shape our voices, focusing on the women who most excited her when she was learning to sing. A vocal break refers to the place where the voice shifts from lower to higher registers and this is a book about what kind of meanings, and sounds, can be made there. Immersing readers in an eclectic soundscape, from musicals and pop music to art punk, what follows is a full-throated tour of women's voices, including Édith Piaf, Maria Callas, Cyndi Lauper, Kathleen Hanna, Tori Amos, PJ Harvey, Beyoncé, FKA Twigs and Billie Eilish. Reflecting on what makes women's singing so powerful - to the point where others feel the need to control or manipulate it - Vocal Break is a joyous call to arms, a siren call: Girls to the front: NOW.

A thrilling new biography of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky-composer of some of the world's most popular orchestral and theatrical music"A lively, argumentative and thoughtful reflection on one of the 19th century's most important musical figures."-Michael O'Donnell, Wall Street JournalTchaikovsky is famous for all the wrong reasons. Portrayed as a hopeless romantic, a suffering melancholic, or a morbid obsessive, the Tchaikovsky we think we know is a shadow of the fascinating reality. It is all too easy to forget that he composed an empire's worth of music, and navigated the imperial Russian court to great advantage.In this iconoclastic biography, celebrated author Simon Morrison re-creates Tchaikovsky's complex world. His life and art were framed by Russian national ambition, and his work was the emanation of an imperial subject: kaleidoscopic, capacious, cosmopolitan, decentred.Morrison reexamines the relationship between Tchaikovsky's music, personal life, and politics; his support of Tsars Alexander II and III; and his engagement with the cultures of the imperial margins, in Ukraine, Poland, and the Caucasus. Tchaikovsky's Empire unsettles everything we thought we knew-and gives us a vivid new appreciation of Russia's most popular composer.

Tchaikovsky's Empire

Pre-order Simon Reynold's forthcoming Still in a Dream: Shoegaze, Slackers, and the Reinvention of Rock, 1984-1994, publishing June 2026. 'A captivating celebration of the music that pushes us forward' RECORD COLLECTOR Futuromania is a celebration of music that feels like a taste of tomorrow: the vanguard genres and heroic innovators who prefigure and shape pop music's future. It explores the interface between pop music and science fiction's utopian dreams and nightmare visions, paying as much attention to the febrile creativity of the human mind as it does to the era-defining advances in electronic hardware and digital software. From Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer to Boards of Canada, Burial, Flying Lotus and dozens more, this collection of essays and interviews by critically-acclaimed author Simon Reynolds coheres into an exhilarating chronological narrative of machine-music from the 1970s to today. A fascinating guide through adventures in sound, there is a lifetime of electronic listening here.

A decade-spanning collection of essays and interviews from acclaimed music journalist Simon Reynolds on music that seems to prefigure the future

Michael Strunge - Lyriker, Ästhet und durch seinen frühen Tod bald schon mythenumrankte, in den Kanon der dänischen Bildungskultur aufgestiegene Legende. Strunges Gedichte - geschrieben in 'des Lebens Hast' und Raserei, zwischen Alltagstristesse, Ichverlust, Kaltem Krieg und medialer Bilderflut, beeinflusst von Rimbaud, David Bowie und den Sex Pistols. Sie legen den Blick frei auf eine Welt im Umbruch, in der das 'No Future' des Punk dem Bewusstsein weicht, dass bereits die Gegenwart alles denkbar Vergangene und Künftige in sich vereint. Eine unvergängliche Welt, in der sich das Subjekt, schwankend zwischen Kühlheit des Ausdrucks und Verletzlichkeit, als Echoraum von Stilen und Stimmen erweist, die sich, wie Philipp Theisohn in seinem brillanten, mit den Gedichten korrespondierenden Essay schreibt, rekombinieren, zerteilen, vervielfältigen und hybridisieren lassen - 'und alles, alles kann geschehn'.

People say to me, if you could do it all again, knowing what you know now, would you change anything? I'm like, f*** no. If I'd been clean and sober, I wouldn't be Ozzy. If I'd done normal, sensible things, I wouldn't be Ozzy. Look, if it ends tomorrow, I can't complain. I've been all around the world. Seen a lot of things. I've done good... and I've done bad. But right now, I'm not ready to go anywhere. At the age of sixty-nine, Ozzy Osbourne was on a triumphant farewell tour, playing to sold-out arenas and rave reviews all around the world. Then disaster. In a matter of just a few weeks, he went from being hospitalised with a finger infection to having to abandon his tour - and all public life - as he faced near-total paralysis from the neck down. Last Rites is the shocking, bitterly hilarious, never-before-told story of Osbourne's descent into hell. Along the way, he reflects on his extraordinary life and career - including his turbulent marriage to wife Sharon, his regrets over Black Sabbath's reunion, his friendships with Slash and Zakk Wylde, and the harrowing final moments he spent with Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister. Unflinching but surprisingly life-affirming, Last Rites demonstrates once again why Ozzy has transcended his status as 'The Godfather of Metal' and 'The Prince of Darkness' to become a modern-day folk hero and national treasure.

'Captures that era of Hong Kong music with such warmth and clarity... Transcendent and transportive' Angela Hui 'A wondrous thing: fresh, evocative, self-aware, fantastically light of touch and wholly original' Sarah Howe A story of music, fandom and identity, from the acclaimed singer-songwriter Emma-Lee Moss (a.k.a. Emmy the Great) For 11-year-old Emma-Lee, the sound of Hong Kong in the summer of 1995 is Cantopop. The Cantopop stars she idolises are everywhere - their images are on every billboard and their music spills from shop speakers onto the streets. When she and her family move to England later that year, Emma-Lee's love of Cantopop will be pushed underground - the sound and symbol of her secret childhood identity. My Cantopop Nights is the story of how Emma-Lee found herself in a Hong Kong bar twenty years later, listening to a Cantopop song and realising that this music was her inheritance. It's about suffering an identity crisis just as the city's post-colonial tensions erupt into protests. It's a story of uncanny coincidences, magical thinking and a quest to reconcile the different sides of her heritage: Hong Konger and British, Cantopop and indie. It's a story of falling in love with a city, its people and its music, while trying to find your own place to belong. 'An author of exceptional vision... for anyone seeking to understand how complicated, tender histories unfurl in our present - and how art emerges to help us through' Jessica J. Lee 'Prepare to meet your new favourite playlist' Dan Schreiber

A FIZZINGLY ORIGINAL COMING-OF-AGE STORY FOR FANS OF HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY 'A deeply endearing and vivacious coming-of-age story - I gobbled it whole.' SUNDAY TIMES 'Riotously funny, nostalgic and immensely touching.' PANDORA SYKES 'Your new favourite novel.' INDIA KNIGHT 'A debut that sparkles like Marc Bolan's eye makeup.' GUARDIAN For Constance 'Connie' Costa, life is just beginning. She dreams of leaving behind her dull, dreary life in '70s East London, shaking off her deeply embarrassing Greek-Cypriot community of interfering Aunties and pretend 'cousins', and running away with her best mate Vas (fellow misfit; NHS specs; soul of a poet). She is determined to take her rightful place alongside her hero, David Bowie, onstage at Wembley Stadium. Only one thing stands in her way: her father, The Fat Murderer. No longer content with being an absolute imbecile and general abomination of nature, he has dialled up his campaign to ruin Connie's life ever since the untimely death of her mother. If she ever wants to claim the destiny that is rightfully hers, Connie has only one option left: to kill him.

'If you have yet to explore her cosmic music, begin, as Andy Beta did, with Journey in Satchidananda, then open this detailed and illuminating biography. And prepare to be transported' OBSERVER 'This book is one to cancel all your plans and really sink into . . . rich and textured' SHORTLIST Musician, wife, mother, daughter, sister, grandmother, collaborator, guru, iconoclast: Alice Coltrane is one of the most forward-looking yet misunderstood artists of the last fifty years. For most of her life - and even in the decades since her passing - she was seen merely as the widow of the late John Coltrane, one of jazz's 'great men' who has long been worshipped with an almost religious fervour and devotion. Yet ever so slowly, that level of love and appreciation is also being bestowed upon Alice. Her influence can be felt on new generations of musicians, especially women, people of colour and artists who seek to combine jazz with other musical forms. In Coltrane's music, we can observe the transformation of Black American music in microcosm: the gospel roots giving rise to jazz and bebop, then intermingling with soul and R&amp;B, then onto rock, modern classical, psychedelia and new age. Cosmic Music is both the first full-length biography of Alice and a long-overdue corrective to the historical and critical record. Based on extensive research and scores of new interviews by acclaimed music journalist Andy Beta, it is the definitive account of a visionary whose influence is only just beginning to be appreciated in full. 'A spiritually moving, epic love story for the ages' JAZZ TIMES 'Andy Beta has a lyrical sense of the ideological mountains the couple were trying to scale with their work' NEW STATESEMAN
