The definitive story of the slackers and shoegazers who reinvented rock.'To devote a book to a set of wilfully amorphous and hazy bands, many of them long-forgotten outriders, is an act of love, commensurate with the saturated thrum of much of the music' OBSERVERTwenty years after his acclaimed postpunk best-seller, Rip It Up and Start Again, Simon Reynolds tells the tale of what happened next: the underground explosion of noisepop, shoegaze, slacker rock and grunge that reverberated through the mid-Eighties into the early Nineties.Capturing the musical exhilaration of the era along with the alienation of youth during a period of ascendant conservative politics and glitzy mainstream pop, Still in a Dream celebrates a golden age of guitar reinvention, a second psychedelia of mind-blowing sounds pioneered by bands like My Bloody Valentine and Sonic Youth. In Britain, groups like Cocteau Twins and Slowdive escaped into shimmering dreamworlds while American underground rockers like Dinosaur Jr. and Pavement blended apathy and urgency into thrilling noise.A propulsive and personal account from a journalist who covered this music in real time from the frontlines, Still in a Dream vividly recreates a period that was the last blast for the analogue culture of vinyl records and music papers, before the Internet changed everything.

När Horace Engdahl är femton år hör han för första gången en viss tonsättning av Frédéric Chopin, en händelse som förändrar hans liv. Stycket väcker hans lust att själv spela piano och öppnar vägen till musiken, som sedan ska bli hans ständiga följeslagare. "Själen och musiken" innehåller fyra essäer om kompositörerna Chopin, Wagner och Brahms samt om poeten Mallarmé. Boken är samtidigt en resa i minnet för att spåra en själs tillblivelse. Resultatet är ett slags självbiografi speglad i konsten och en berättelse om musikens omvälvande kraft.
"Själen och Musiken är en fin liten bok, fylld av kunskap, lidelser och insikter, inte minst om vad det kan innebära att vara människa, och musikens förvandlande förmåga." - DAST Magazine
"Värdet i många av essäernas tankar ligger i att de är flyttbara , inbjuder till att appliceras på annan musik än den som diskuteras just här, annan litteratur, andra liv än författarens.
Ett annat värde, som jag ofta noterat när jag läser Engdahl, är att jag blir mer upplyft än irriterad när jag inte håller med honom: dialogiskt indragen, uppmuntrad till riposter." - Fokus

2024 är det 100 år sedan Allan Edwall föddes i Hissmofors i augusti 1924. Allan Edwall är en av våra stora visdiktare. Underfundig och varmt humoristisk, folklig och politisk i en hisnande kombination och med egenartade melodier och en fängslande, välbekant röst. Hans egenart är närmast majestätisk. Hans visor dyker allt som oftast upp i nya tolkningar med en yngre generation artister och i teateruppsättningar. 2022 uppmärksammade även Svenska Akademin Allan Edwall i utgåvan ”En svensk visbok - 99 visor och en psalm”. Denna utgåva till Allan Edwalls 100-års jubileum innehåller tre CD-skivor där vi samlat samtliga utgivna visor från de fem albumen, som sedan länge inte funnits tillgängliga i något fysiskt format; ”Grovdoppa” (1979), ”Färdknäpp” (1981), ”Gnällspik” (1982), ”Vetahuteri” (1984) och ”Aftonro” (2005, postumt utgiven). CD skivorna återfinns i fickor i bokens hårda pärm. De tre CD-skivorna ingår i en 124-sidig bok av coffeetable-typ med samtliga vistexter. Plus en längre biografisk essä av Johan Erlandsson som skrev Allan Edwalls biografi ”Då kan man lika gärna kittla varandra” (Atlas) 2009, med inriktning på Allan Edwalls musikaliska karriär. Plus texter och kommentarer av Göran Greider, Kristina Lugn och Björn Ståbi. Boken är rikt illustrerad med en mängd unika fotografier, bland annat av Mattias Edwall.

"Soltimmar är inte en bok som logiskt kan placeras mellan Baez och Boye i biografihyllan, utan snarare nånstans i närheten av Susanna Alakoskis Svinalängorna, kanadensiska Tanya Tagaqs Spricktand och Andrew Waldens Jävla karlar." - Erika Hallhagen, SvD
"I den välskrivna och avväpnande uppriktiga biografin Soltimmar varvar Victoria Bergsman minnesbilder från barndomen ... och ett liv i musikvärlden." - Jan Gradvall, DI
"Sångaren från The Concretes, Taken By Trees och Peter Bjorn & Johns Young folks skriver vackert om en indieprinsessas irrfärder." - Fredrik Strage, EFN
"en gripande berättelse om identitet och att hitta ljuset i en mörk tillvaro." - BTJ
"Avslöjande bok om hur sjukt jobbigt det kan vara i musikbranschen - mellan alla himla få magiska höjdpunkter på scen." - Lasse Anrell, Nya Wermlands-Tidningen
Hon är rösten på ”Young Folks”. Kvinnan i New Order-videon. Sångerskan längst fram på Glastonburys scen.
Hon är också barnet som gömmer sig för gubbars bläckfiskarmar, den unga tjejen som navigerar i tillvaron på psyket. Hon är kvinnan som är hög och medvetslös efter en Late Night-spelning, på ett flygplan, på ett hotellrum.
I sin självbiografiska debutbok Soltimmar väver Victoria Bergsman samman barndom, ungdom och vuxenliv. Musiken finns där hela livet. Från pappans egenkomponerade sånger, till den första regndränkta spelningen med The Concretes, turnélivet med Peter Bjorn And Johns världssuccé och ruset i att skapa egen musik med Taken By Trees. Musiken gör allt möjligt, toppar och dalar, framgångar och fritt fall.
Soltimmar är en smått psykedelisk berättelse om ett liv, och alla de jag som ryms i en människa. Den är skriven med en ärlighet så stark att den bränns, och med en humor som svalkar.

"Of all the books I have read on the story of the Velvet Underground, Richie’s is probably the best. He brings us the voices of the people who were also important to those times, but who either go unmentioned, unheard, or not written about in a balanced way. I also like the way he writes, and some of the many reviews of recordings and live shows were insightful in a way l have not come across in the work of anyone else. Bravo, Richie!" Jonathan RichmanNo band has reshaped the possibilities of popular music like The Velvet Underground. Formed in New York in 1965, the Velvets emerged from the nexus of art, fashion, politics, music and counterculture.Although widespread popularity and acclaim evaded them during their four-album lifespan, their enduring, cross-generational appeal meant the Velvets could count iconic contemporaries like Leonard Cohen, David Bowie and Jimi Hendrix as fans, alongside future legends such as Roxy Music, the Pretenders and Sonic Youth.Do What You Fear Most chronicles how an unlikely group of upstarts came to define the musical zeitgeist. In a sprawling and engrossing narrative, Richie Unterberger follows the group from their disparate origins to their ascendancy as Andy Warhol's Factory house band in New York City. It explores the creative alchemy between the core trio of Lou Reed, John Cale and Nico, the shocking exits and ever-changing lineups, as well as the wider New York cultural scene of the period.Rigorously researched and packed with previously undocumented insights, this book features many first-hand interviews with the group's associates, as well as material newly unearthed from the Lou Reed Archive and the Andy Warhol Archive, alongside never-before-seen images and ephemera. This is the most complete story of The Velvet Underground to date.'A tome finally worthy of Lou Reed's gang. Do What You Fear Most is the most comprehensive and compelling yet on the stealthy, stupendously influential band' Record Collector, 5*****

Gitarristen Kenny Håkansson har med sitt unika spel satt ett betydande avtryck i svensk musik. Likt tusentals tonåringar bildade han i mitten av 1960-talet ett band när den brittiska pop- och rockvågen sköljde in över Sverige. Snart tog han steget vidare och utforskade nyfiket olika musikaliska uttryck, inte minst den svenska folkmusiken.
Som tongivande medlem i band som Baby Grandmothers, Mecki Mark Men, Kebnekajse och Dag Vag befann sig Kenny i centrum för en ny, säregen musik som växte fram i brytpunkten mellan 60- och 70-tal – och som fortfarande lockar nya lyssnare från världens alla hörn.
I bokens historiska berättelse följer Håkan Thörn Kenny Håkanssons musikaliska resa 1965–1980, den svenska progressiva musikens guldålder.
Fotograf Katarina Despotovic skildrar samtidigt Kenny Håkansson som en intensivt turnerande musiker under 2020-talet.
Förordet är skrivet av M. A. Numminen, finsk musiker och språklig ekvilibrist som först såg Kenny spela på Klubb Filips i Stockholm 1967.
Boken är formgiven av Spektra design.

'Our '90s fever dreams were beautiful but they were also brutal and only the good girls, like Melissa, have the guts to tell you that' Shirley Manson'As if through the lens of her camera, Melissa shows us a female experience of rock and roll' Martha Wainwright'Intimate, poetic' Walton GogginsThanks to a thrown beer bottle and a fan letter to a P.O. box, Melissa Auf der Maur's first band scored an opening slot for the Smashing Pumpkins in her bohemian home town, Montreal. Sensing Melissa's talent, Billy Corgan recommended her to Courtney Love. Whisked from her local scene, Melissa joined Hole just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole's prior bassist, Kristen Pfaff, with the just-widowed Courtney Love at the centre of it all.That was only the beginning of Melissa's journey through alternative rock, a trip she undertook alongside 90s luminaries including Rufus Wainwright, Michael Stipe and her former boyfriend, Dave Grohl. Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a vivid dispatch from the last analogue decade, capturing that bygone era in all its messy, angsty glory.

‘Pretty marvellous. A fabulous autobiography’ Irvine Welsh‘Full of beautiful, mad stories’ Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 6The long awaited autobiography from the musical maverick, polymath and Beta Band front man.‘Self-destructive pop saboteurs who did it all wrong in all the right ways. Utterly brilliant’ —NMESteve Mason is a Scottish singer songwriter and founding member of the Beta Band. Formed in 1996 the band were quickly embraced in the media as The Next Big Thing and hailed by famous fans from Radiohead to Noel Gallagher. They were an idiosyncratic, self-contained, Dadaist counterpoint to the bloated Britpop corpse as it metastasized in the late ‘90s.The band split in 2004, owing their record label £1.2m. Since 2004, front man and songwriter Steve Mason has forged a singular, highly lauded solo career, releasing 5 albums under his own name and in April this year the Beta Band reformed to announce their first shows and the UK and U.S in over twenty years.‘I see this book as a picture of someone who was lost, with zero confidence and had no idea what he was supposed to do to with his life. But through music, he found something approaching belief in himself which carried him over the next 30 years into all manner of success, failure and adventure. All the while battling the demons on constant patrol in his mind until, after they nearly finished him off, he focused his full attention on purging them from of aspect of his life. It’s a story of youth culture, failure, success, sadness and redemption’ Steve Mason, Brighton, August 2025

Raw Power by Iggy and the Stooges is arguably the most aggressive, dynamic album in rock history, and inarguably one of the most influential. Looking past the myths and into the true story of the Stooges, Michael S. Begnal illuminates the creation of this recording in the context of the cultural zeitgeist of the early 1970s, the American War in Vietnam and the ways in which punk rock came snarling into existence. Death Trip uncovers lost archives and stories, drawing on new interviews with Stooges guitarist James Williamson and pianist Scott Thurston, and sheds fresh light on the band’s creative process. This is an in-depth, definitive account that will challenge the assumptions of even the most knowledgeable Stooges fan.

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.

The long-awaited memoir, generously illustrated with never-before-seen photos, from the iconic Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, Rush bassist, and New York Times bestselling author of Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass.Geddy Lee is one of rock and roll's most respected bassists. For nearly five decades, his playing and work as co-writer, vocalist and keyboardist has been an essential part of the success story of Canadian progressive rock trio Rush. Here for the first time is his account of life inside and outside the band.Long before Rush accumulated more consecutive gold and platinum records than any rock band after the Beatles and the Rolling Stones, before the seven Grammy nominations or the countless electrifying live performances across the globe, Geddy Lee was Gershon Eliezer Weinrib, after his grandfather was murdered in the Holocaust.As he recounts the transformation, Lee looks back on his family, in particular his loving parents and their horrific experiences as teenagers during World War II.He talks candidly about his childhood and the pursuit of music that led him to drop out of high school.He tracks the history of Rush which, after early struggles, exploded into one of the most beloved bands of all time.He shares intimate stories of his lifelong friendships with bandmates Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart—deeply mourning Peart’s recent passing—and reveals his obsessions in music and beyond.This rich brew of honesty, humor, and loss makes for a uniquely poignant memoir.

A New York Times Book of 2026'Essential reading for anyone with even a passing interest in alternative music' Guardian'[An] electrifying account of downtown demi-monde days' Irish Times'Exhilarating' Mojo 4****In 1975 a young queer singer from Cleveland meets photographer Nan Goldin - an encounter that will lead them to New York's bombed-out downtown, where something unprecedented is brewing. At Max's Kansas City and CBGBs, in derelict lofts and underground clubs, a generation of visionary women artists is rewriting the rules of creativity, sexuality, and power.Adele Bertei didn't just witness the No Wave explosion-she ignited it. As acetone organist for the Contortions and Brian Eno's assistant, she was at the epicenter when punk collided with post-punk, birthing a counterculture that fused music, art, cinema, fashion and outlaw literature into an uncompromising explosion of creativity. While mainstream culture wallowed in sexism and homophobia, these artists and more created something fluid, fierce, and transgressive.Raw, gripping, and illustrated with rare photographs from personal collections, No New York is the definitive insider's account of the women who obliterated every barrier in their path, taking you deep into the artistic and sexual experimentation of an era when true expression mattered more than money or fame.

These largely unknown jazz photos – shot just before his career breakthrough – showcase his early mastery and his empathy for his subjects, making Jazz: Best of the Apollo, Village Vanguard, and Riverside Sessions an essential archive.In the early ’60s, when Schapiro arrived on the scene, New York jazz was enjoying a golden age. A young freelance photographer who had grown up in the Bronx and somehow snagged a gig with Riverside Records, he began voraciously documenting shows, players, venues, recording sessions and gatherings both in his native New York and later in Chicago. Whether it’s Sonny Rollins lifting weights backstage, or Bobby Timmons lost in an instant of discovery at the piano, Schapiro was on their wavelength.Written by US jazz journalist Richard Scheinin Jazz: Best of the Apollo, Village Vanguard, and Riverside Sessions features dozens of never-before-seen photos of jazz legends like Cannonball Adderley, Melba Liston, Bill Evans, Wayne Shorter, Freddie Hubbard, Sonny Rollins, Count Basie and more.

Miles: The Autobiography, like the man himself, holds nothing back. He talks about his battles against drugs and racism, and discusses the many women in his life. But above all, Miles talks about music and musicians, including the legends he has played with over the years: Bird, Dizzy, Monk, Trane, Mingus and many others. The man who has given us the most exciting music of recent times has now given us a fascinating and compelling insight into his extraordinary life.‘An engrossing read . . . gives fascinating insights into the cult phenomenon’ Miles Copeland, Weekend Telegraph‘Magnificently truthful, action packed, raw and bleeding’ Miles Kington, Independent‘Passionate, opinionated, unfettered . . . What gives this book, and the man, their final weight and strength is that Davis’s driving, almost possessed pursuit of his art. The passion to create is all, and let the world go hang itself’ Herbert Kretzmer, Daily Mail

An Independent Book of the Month‘A superb biography’ William Boyd‘(A) bold and enlightening exploration of Bowie's later career. Sensitive, witty and often very affecting’ The Times‘A genuine must buy, as rich in critical appraisal as it is in personal history *****’ Classic Pop‘An engrossing, entertaining and informative read’ Classic RockA major new biography of David Bowie on the 10th anniversary of his death, exploring the second half of his career from commercial failures to critical rebirth in the 21st century.When David Bowie died on 10 January 2016, aged 69, his death was greeted with the greatest display of public mourning since Princess Diana three decades before.Twenty-five years before, Bowie appeared to be washed up. His Eighties career had been a slow descent into self-parody, his attempts to diversify into hard rock with the had been disastrous, and the art-rock music with which he had made his name was badly out of fashion. The Thin White Duke needed a miracle if he was not only going to be able to assume his rightful place at the top of the rock music firmament, but even to continue his career. And a miracle – a resurrection from the dead – is precisely what happened.Lazarus: The Second Coming of David Bowie is the first biography of Bowie that tells the full and candid story of what happened in between those two apparently unbridgeable points. With new and exclusive interviews with the musicians, filmmakers and cultural figures who worked with and befriended Bowie throughout this period, Lazarus is the definitive account of the previously overlooked and fascinating latter half of a great and distinguished career. A career that climaxed with his final masterpiece, Blackstar, and the unprecedented theatrical flourish of his departure from the stage as he passed into legend.

In November 2020, Depeche Mode were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and Dave Gahan, accepting the honour, said: “I’d like to thank Anton Corbijn who thank God came in at the right time and actually made us look cool.” Also in the fall of 2020, TASCHEN released the limited edition Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn (81–18) signed by Depeche Mode and Anton Corbijn, and it became one of the fastest selling collector’s editions in the publishing company’s history. This pocket-sized and wallet-friendly edition is a testament to Corbijn’s unique vision, and indeed “cool” as Gahan acknowledged so movingly in his speech; an illustrated history of how Corbijn, who became in 1986 the band’s de facto creative director, and helped cement Depeche Mode’s reputation as the biggest cult band in the world.Featuring over 150 photographs from Corbijn’s extensive archives, including formal and informal portraits from places such as Madrid, Hamburg, the California desert, Prague and Marrakech; a multitude of off-the-cuff, candid images; and stunning live shots from all their tours since 1988 right up to 2023. Created with the full collaboration of the band, who share some insights on working with Corbijn, Depeche Mode by Anton Corbijn trumpets how one man’s original aesthetic, that has encompassed all of their photography, most of their music videos, album graphics and set designs, helped shape the band’s enduring popularity. Reflecting on his role in Depeche Mode, Corbijn recalls in the book’s introduction: “A lot of it came down to me, and I wanted it to be right for them. I wanted to think for them. To be great for them.” This book is a tribute to the depth and breadth of that greatness, a celebration of one of the most creative and enduring collaborations in rock history.
