1970s Jazz Fusion
Matthew Reed Baker, Writer, USA
From the earliest glimmers of America’s Music going electric, traditional fans accused such legends as Miles Davis and Donald Byrd of contaminating an art form so rich in history and complex in structure with the brazen commercialism and seeming simplicity of new genres like rock, soul, and funk The accusations of selling out were only compounded by the fact that artists like Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea sold far more records and reached more non-jazz fans in the 1970s with their fusion records than with their straight-ahead jazz records Find out more about the musical hybrid that has become one of the most influential genres of music in jazz, rock, soul, and hip-hop.

Tropicália
Ana Leorne, Writer, France
This comprehensive portrait of Tropicália, from influences to results, from context to main players, and everything in between also explores how Tropicália helped reinvent Brazil's cultural identity in a post-colonial world While post-colonialism remains a vital concept to understand the movement, the genre's conceptual core comes from a unique mix of native and foreign influences: Tropicália doesn't repudiate the international pop panorama, instead choosing to align with the era by assuming itself as its undeniable product The genre also reveals an enthusiastic desire for propelling culture (and counterculture in particular) forward, repudiating senseless conservatisms and niche intellectualisms in favour of a broader reach of Brazilian music .

Café Tacvba's Re
Carmelo Esterrich, Columbia College Chicago, USA
Examines the 1994 album by the Mexican group Café Tacvba as a spectacularly unique musical object that adopts and adapts myriad musical genres with the pulse, the attitude, and the energy of punk and rock Mambo and ska, samba and salsa, punk and industrial, disco and Mexican banda, are but a few of the genres in this musical trip But Re is not appropriation, but rather transformation: 20 original tracks of music that think through the music created and consumed in Latin America The lyrics add layer after layer of either nuance or shock, as they play with the cultural and musical expectations of the many genres included in the album

20th Century Ambient
Dusty Henry, Writer, USA 20th Century Ambient details a crucial period in which ambient music became a fully realized idea and is secretly one of the most popular genres in the world It wasn’t until the 20th century that it became a defined genre. This book walks through ambient’s ambiguous timeline to uncover not just the genre’s evolution but to understand why it resonates so deeply with the human spirit From Erik Satie’s classical compositions, hidden histories in blues and dub music, innovations by Brian Eno and Alice Coltrane, all the way through modern artists spearheading ambient in the still early 21st century

Plunderphonics
Matthew Blackwell, Freelance Writer, Spain
In the 1980s, a group of pranksters led by Canadian composer John Oswald and San Francisco band Negativland took on the major labels by making music with purposefully uncleared samples Pillaging and parodying music from Dolly Parton, Beethoven, the Beatles and dozens of others, they incited legal threats that they then turned into publicity for their cause In a wide-ranging history that discusses landmark works by Steinski, The Tape Beatles, People Like Us, DJ Shadow, J Dilla, and Danger Mouse, this book narrates the battle against restrictive copyright laws and the rise of a movement toward a shared creative commons

Cocteau Twins' Blue Bell Knoll
Chris Tapley, Writer, UK
This book examines Blue Bell Knoll to dive deep on the value of artistic ambiguity, the limits of language, and what we can learn about creative practice from this once-in-a-lifetime band
Throughout the 80s and 90s Cocteau Twins defined dream pop and opened the door for shoegaze
Robin Guthrie’s reverb-soaked guitar sound and production set the template for a generation, while Elizabeth Fraser’s mesmerising voice and mysterious lyricism beguiled listeners Blue Bell Knoll was their fifth album and their first to be released on a major label in the US.

Erykah Badu's New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh)
Kameryn Alexa Carter, Freelance writer, USA
Conceived and first composed on her laptop at home, with some vocals recorded in her bathroom, Erykah Badu's New Amerykah Part Two is lo-fi and highly sophisticated—exquisitely analog and experimentally techy Kameryn Alexa Carter explores how the album reaches toward the past and dreams up new futures, in the process suggesting that the veil between the two temporalities is nearly translucent An organism at once cohesive and discordant, it flows, jams, grooves, bounces. It transforms.

Yo La Tengo's And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out
Elliott Simpson, Freelance writer, UK
Hailed as a “quiet masterpiece” upon release, Yo La Tengo’s And Then Nothing Turned Itself InsideOut proposed a radical new future for rock music
Released at a time when the music industry was changing dramatically thanks to the rise of online file sharing, it suggested that the only way for a band to survive was to listen to themselves The book argues that great art does not come from suffering, but instead, steady, unglamorous work It is an album that helped forge a new mythology for rock and roll: one not built on sex, drugs and debauchery, but instead the quiet lives of people living in peaceful suburban homes From the nothingness of the everyday, something incredible can emerge .

John Cale's Paris 1919
Mark Doyle, Middle Tennessee State University, USA
In this vivid, wide-ranging book, Mark Doyle hunts down the ghosts haunting Cale’s most enduring solo album There is the ghost of the Velvet Underground, whose abrasive sound and ethos Cale nearly managed to exorcise There is the ghost of Dylan Thomas, a fellow Welshman who haunts not just Paris 1919 but much of Cale’s life and art There are the ghosts of history, of a failed peace and a cold war, and of Christmas, a surprising visitor who lends the proceedings a nostalgic, childlike air With erudition and wit, Doyle offers new ways to listen to an old album whose mysteries will never fully be resolved

Sufjan Stevens' Carrie & Lowell
Joel Mayward, George Fox University, USA
Critically acclaimed as one of the best albums of 2015, the elegiac and intimate record about the death of Sufjan’s estranged mother reflects the musician’s own paradoxical posture—Carrie & Lowell is both sacred and profane, Christian and queer, traditional and progressive, modern and postmodern This book considers Carrie & Lowell as a mystical metamodern mementomori, Stevens’ symphonic (as opposed to systematic) approach to the questions of mortality, meaning, and God Fusing critical observations with personal narrative, Mayward examines the unique audience reception of Carrie & Lowell and the questions it raises: in a world of division, how might Stevens’ affecting music act as a bridge of love between seemingly irreconcilable communities?

Taco Hemingway's Jarmark
Kamila Rymajdo, Journalist, UK
Jarmark is Taco Hemingway’s fifth album, and his most political to date, coming soon after he became the first Polish artist to be streamed a billion times on Spotify Previously described as the voice of a generation with nothing to say, Hemingway’s political turn can be read as an intervention, not least because Jarmark was released two days before the presidential election in 2020, which had the potential to end PiS (Law and Justice)’s reign As such, the book examines the album as a response to a crisis point in Polish society, with a country divided about its future
Together Alone holds a special place in the hearts of Crowded House fans and remains one of Neil Finn’s boldest musical statements – and his favourite Crowded House album Recorded amid the isolated Karekare wilderness, the album is drenched in mystery and atmosphere, with songs possessing special qualities that those on other Crowded House albums – as good as they are – do not But why exactly are they so hypnotizing? Featuring first-hand accounts, from Finn and others, the book also explores the intense circumstances of its recording, its major players, and other factors including the influence of Maori culture.

Various Artists' Truckload of Sky: The Lost Songs of David McComb Vol. 1
Glenn D'Cruz, Deakin University, Australia
A Truckload of Sky: The Lost Songs of David McComb (2020) was written by McComb and recorded by his friends and musical collaborators after his untimely death at age 36 in 1999 McComb's songwriting is notable for its erudite, poetic lyrics which are married to haunting melodies that evoke the tumult and disorientations generated by love Here, a hauntological approach is used to unpack the album's structure and composition This book examines the ways A Truckload of Sky echoes McComb’s stylistic and thematic obsessions while generating important questions about the relationship between popular music and memory, time and death
The Lord of the Rings suite, produced during the 1970s, based on the Tolkien books, is the most ambitious compositional oeuvre ever undertaken in Australian jazz Its composer John Sangster's career embraced the entire historical spectrum of jazz styles from traditional to the avant-garde One of the most complex figures in Australian music, in both temperament and musical style, nothing in the recording history of Australian jazz, and perhaps Australian music in general, matches the monumental stature of this suite, which he called his musical autobiography
TISM’s third full-length album was almost destined to fly under the radar. A noted sonic shift from a band whose very existence seemed based around pushing the limit and avoiding the spotlight, the record would ultimately storm the charts, be certified Gold, and go so far as to win Best Independent Release at the 1995 ARIA Awards The group eschewed popular rock trends as they adopted their unique brand of dance music, which in turn translated to greater success. Using first-hand accounts and cultural analysis, this book charts how one of the country’s most enigmatic rock outfits managed to become one of its most noted success stories
Michael Brown, Alexander Turnbull Library, New Zealand
Brimming over with fake wind-chimes, dreamy synth pads, and hyperactive slap-bass, Eyeliner’s Buy Now is an ebullient homage to the kitsch sounds of the 80s and 90s It epitomizes a new kind of album for our times: DIY, all-digital, free, licensed as Creative Commons, and belonging to a “virtual” genre, an internet-based scene without geographic center Drawing on the album’s production archive and interviews with Rowell, this book argues that Buy Now offers both musical pleasure and mental survival-training for an era when sincerity and irony can appear dangerously indistinguishable
Anirudha Bhattacharjee, Business Consultant and Writer, India & Chandrashekhar Rao, Writer, India
Lata Mangeshkar: My Favourites, Vol. 2 is the story of 50 songs the songstress chose as her favourites among her own work, from a repository of over 5,000 The book covers an expanse of nearly forty years, connecting the reader to the real-life events behind the songs, going back to the times when music listening in India was limited to the radio, the 78 RPM shellac, and the occasional visit to the cinema, and later, the vinyl records, cassettes, the 30 minutes Chitrahaar on television every week, and VHS systems which were finding a place in middle-class homes
What Numbers Tell Us about the Biggest Hit Songs and Ourselves
Chris Dalla Riva
Popular music history collides with data analytics and numbers in this insightful and surprising look at the greatest hits, musicians, fads, forgotten artists, and more Did you know that hit songs in the late 1950s were regularly about gruesome death? That the key change died around 2003? That a US vice president wrote a number one hit? That while TikTok has spawned countless hits, it’s made artists more anonymous than ever before? Whether you danced the twist or the dougie at your senior prom, Chris Dalla Riva reframes everything you thought you knew about music over the last 6 decades

Semi-Conducting
Rambles Through the Post-Cagean Thicket
Nicolas Collins, The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, USA
Written by a composer long immersed in new and experimental music this book provides a tour of the music, technologies and people that have transformed how we make, hear and think about sound over the past fifty years. As both a participant and critical observer in the post-Cagean musical landscape, Nicolas Collins uses anecdotes and analysis to survey the history and aesthetics of the musical avant-garde It follows a personal chronology of observations and experiences with music, technology, economics and culture
Moving deftly between cultural theory, musicology and geography, Listening to Landscape serves as a primer on hauntronica that defines the genre as uniquely concerned with questions of landscape and Englishness However, it argues that 21stcentury hauntronica is not mere nostalgia, but should be considered a provocation that helps us imagine a new radical politics for the Anthropocene . In making this argument, it speaks to urgent questions of national identities in the post-Brexit era, offering a distinctive take on the way contemporary culture deals with the ghosts and memories of Albion

A Sound Word Almanac
Edited by Bernd Herzogenrath, Goethe University of Frankfurt/Main, Germany
An assemblage of nearly 70 practitioners and theoreticians, artists and scholars, write short and slightly longer entries on their favorite ‘sound word’ – words related to sound: onomatopoetical, mythological, practical, etc , words of personal importance to the artists and their craft, words from their memory, related to sound This almanac has mainly collected sound words from contributors for whom English is not the first language, to contribute such a word or concept in their own mother-tongue (maybe even untranslatable) with a personal, explanatory, poetic entry, and also English-speaking artists, to contribute with nonstandard English--for example Gaelic Irish, different dialects words-words that have the potential to maybe even change our perspective on listening-musicking-thinking

Edited by Nessa Johnston, University of Liverpool, UK, Jamie Sexton & Elodie A. Roy, Northumbria University, UK
This cross-disciplinary collection provides the first comprehensive study of library music practices in the 1960s and 1970s Library music was inexpensive, off-theshelf music available to license for a small fee It was widely used in television and film as a cheaper alternative to commissioned soundtracks This book addresses questions about creativity, authorship and agency: How and in what conditions were library music tracks written, recorded and disseminated?

How can we interpret the contemporary revival of library music and the phonoarchaeological practices of collectors, reissue record labels, musicians and DJs?

Haunted Soundtracks
Audiovisual Cultures of Memory, Landscape, and Sound
Edited by Kevin J. Donnelly, Staffordshire University, UK & Aimee Mollaghan, Queen's University, Belfast, UK
This collection of essays focuses on audiovisual forms that foreground landscape, sound and memory The scope of inquiry emphasises the ghostly qualities of a certain body of soundtracks, extending beyond merely the idea of 'scary films' or 'haunted houses.' Rather, the notion of sonic haunting is tied to ideas of trauma, anxiety or nostalgia associated with spatial and temporal dislocation in contemporary society Touchstones for the approach are the concepts of psychogeography and hauntology, pervasive and established critical strategies that are interrogated and refined in relation to the reification of the spectral within the soundtracks under consideration here

Edited by James Grande, King's College London, UK & Brian H. Murray, King's College London, UK
As composers and performers drew inspiration from the Bible and new historical sciences called into question the historicity of Scripture, controversies raged over the performance, publication and censorship of old and new musical forms Both elite and popular music came to play a significant role in the formation, regulation and contestation of religious and cultural identity and were used to address questions of class, nation and race, leading to the beginnings of ethnomusicology This richly interdisciplinary volume brings together musicologists, historians, literary and art historians and theologians to reveal points of intersection between music, religion and cultural history

Daft Punk and the Legacy Album
A Vision of Ambition
Sébastien Lebray, University of Strasbourg, France
Random Access Memories (Daft Life/Columbia, 2013) will remain the very last Daft Punk album
Often understood as an expression of nostalgia towards the music of the 1970s-1980s, this work should not be reduced to a simple tribute to the masters of disco Beyond their "retro" airs, their interest in old studios and their preference for analog equipment, Daft Punk invent new creative approaches in the continuity of the history of electronic music, leaving more room for humanity and collective performance
The band claims audacity and ambition in a way that is reminiscent of the spirit (more than in the style) of the 1970s progressive rock, with characteristics such as the expansion of the instrumentarium, experimentation in the recording studio, and the development of structures

The Poetry of Bob Dylan brings together leading literary, music, and cultural critics to analyze the lyrics to thirty different songs by Bob Dylan An innovative resource for Dylan scholars, this book as a whole explicates how and why—and from a wide variety of perspectives—the work of the 2016 Nobel Literature Laureate is in fact so literary.

Can music be made “independently” in the 21st century? More than a generation of musicians, music workers, and music companies have now been operating in the context of profound shifts in music dissemination and production in the “digital era ” Scholarly focus on musical independence has often been centered on genres, like punk and indie, rooted in the US and UK This volume, focused outside the Euro-American context, shows the variety of ways musicians, music workers and businesses manage the economic, media and cultural shifts intertwined with digitalization, asking what it means now to say one is “independent ”

Unsilenced Women
Musicians, Gender-Based Violence, and the Popular Music Industry
Rosemary Lucy Hill, University of Huddersfield, UK, Bianca Fileborn, University of Melbourne, Australia & Catherine Strong, RMIT University, Australia
This book explores how women who have experienced gender-based violence within the music industry represent and construct this violence through their creative and public-facing outputs Analysis of three key case studies – Kesha, Lingua Ignota, and Alice Glass - demonstrates that gender-based violence influences creative productions. The representation of this abuse is identified in the artists' music, lyrics, and visual accompaniments and the incorporation of their experiences and responses to abuse in their public personas The authors uncover what it is about the music industry itself that might facilitate or enable such experiences and perpetuate abuse
Edited by Paul Carr, University of South Wales, UK
This book explores a neglected aspect of scholarship surrounding the study of song—its relationship with nostalgia and notions of ‘home’ (in its broadest sense) Each essay in this collection studies these factors from the perspective of ‘production’, ‘text’ and ‘reception,' either individually or in combination What is the relationship between nostalgia and creativity? How are nostalgic production techniques used in song construction? Through case studies of nostalgic songs or albums about home and musicological analysis, authors identify nostalgic trends by songwriters, songs and albums The collection facilitates an examination of nostalgic narratives from subjective perspectives, such as those of audiences
