33 1/3 Series editors: Kevin J. H. Dettmar, Pomona College, USA, Amanda Petrusich, New York University, USA, Gayle Wald, George Washington University, USA & Daphne Brooks, Princeton University, USA “The series is probably the most remarkable regular event in rock journalism today.” New York Times 33 1/3 is a series of short books about popular music, focusing on individual albums by a wide range of artists from Celine Dion to Neutral Milk Hotel. With over 100 volumes available, it has recently expanded to cover music from soundtracks and video game scores.

Arcade Fire’s The Suburbs Eric Eidelstein, Independent Scholar, USA Adapted by adaptor

The Suburbs made a heavy impact on fans and – to the surprise of many – won Album of the Year at the 2011 Grammy’s. Eric Eidelstein’s The Suburbs explores the weird, utopic recollection of youth represented in the album by comparing it to suburban scenes in film and television, such as Blue Velvet, Mad Men, The Americans, and Scenes from the Suburbs. Through the close examination of film depictions of the suburbs Eidelstein delves into the societal factors and artistic depictions that make the suburbs such a fascinating cultural construct, and uncovers why the album creates such a universal sense of reminiscence.

Bob Mould's Workbook Walter Biggins, Independent Scholar, USA & Daniel Couch, Chemeketa Community College, USA Adapted by adaptor

Workbook serves its title in two ways—as a map for musicians to follow into a new mode, and as a journal of Mould’s struggle toward adulthood. It opens conversations about rock, identity, spirituality, authenticity, and the perils and promises of mainstream culture. Walter Biggins and Daniel Couch, two critics who grew up with Workbook, extend these conversations— through letters and emails to each other, and through correspondence with Mould and Workbook’s musicians and producers. That crosstalk leads to, through this seminal album, a deeper understanding of “alternative rock” at the moment of its inception, just before it took over the radio.

Björk's Homogenic Emily Mackay, Independent Scholar, UK Adapted by adaptor

In recent years, Björk’s artistry has become ever more ambitious and ever more respected. The album that made all this possible, is 1997’s Homogenic, a turning point in Björk’s career and still among her finest musical achievements. Produced under great strain, it moves beyond the stylistic magpie rush of Debut and the urbanophile future-pop of Post, to something darker, stronger and braver, full of dramatic assertions of independence, sharp, stuttering beats, rich strings and raw outbursts of noise. It created, as the Alexander McQueen designed sleeve clearly asserted, a new Björk, one who would never stop hunting.

Camp Lo's Uptown Saturday Night Patrick Rivers, University of New Haven, USA & William Fulton, LaGuardia Community College, USA Adapted by adaptor

As a tapestry of 1970s black popular culture, this volume details how the fantastic musical world of Uptown Saturday Night was borrowed from the films of that era—particularly the Sidney Poitier film from which the album’s name is derived—and positions the album as an essential example of Mark Anthony Neal’s post-soul aesthetic. The book is informed by interviews of Camp Lo, album producer Ski, autobiographical accounts by A&R/co-author Will Fulton, and musical and cultural analyses that details the development of the album and how its contents instigated a “remembering” of black culture.

The Pharcyde's Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde Andrew Barker, Independent Scholar, USA Adapted by adaptor

As much an inner city cipher as a suburban boys gang, the foursome that made up The Pharcyde were the most relatable MCs to ever pass the mic. Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde represents the sound of four restless man-children fresh out of their teens, finding a perfect outlet in a form of music that was just as young and fertile. A touchstone for Kanye West, Drake, Lil B and a whole generation of off-center MCs, Bizarre Ride sketched out a whole strata of emotions that other rappers hadn't yet dared to tackle, and to a certain extent, still haven't.

Jenn Pelly, Independent Scholar, USA Adapted by adaptor

"Rather than listening to them, I feel like I'm listening in on them," Kurt Cobain once wrote of The Raincoats' beloved 1979 self-titled record, a gem of classic post-punk that joyously embodied that era in sound and ideology. In this book, Jenn Pelly explores the brilliantly anti-commercial nature and D.I.Y. aesthetic of The Raincoats’ The Raincoats, and how the peculiar charms of this pioneering feminist punk band helped bolster the iconic Rough Trade label and ultimately create a timeless, almost spiritual music for Riot Grrrls, indie fanatics, and outsiders alike.

33 1/3 Japan Series editor: Noriko Manabe, Temple University, USA Part of the 33 1/3 Global series, the 33 1/3 Japan strand is devoted to in-depth examination of Japanese albums of the 20th and 21st centuries, spanning a range of genres including rock, J-pop, technopop and the music of classic anime series Cowboy Bebop.

Perfume's GAME Patrick St. Michel, Independent Scholar, Japan Adapted by adaptor

Released in 2008, J-pop trio Perfume’s GAME shot to the top of Japanese music charts and turned the Hiroshima trio into a household name across the country. It was also a high point for techno-pop, the genre’s biggest album since the heyday of Yellow Magic Orchestra. This collection of maximalist but emotional electronic pop stands as one of the style’s finest moments, with its influence still echoing from artists both in Japan and from beyond. This book examines Perfume’s underdog story as a group long struggling for success, the making of GAME, and the history of techno-pop that shaped it.

Young Marble Giants' Colossal Youth Michael Blair, Independent Scholar, USA & Joe Bucciero, Independent Scholar, USA Adapted by adaptor

Welsh post-punk band Young Marble Giants released one LP and then, like their vanishing portraits on the album’s cover, disappeared. Yet their lasting appeal owes itself to the band’s singular approach to punk rock. Instead of using overt political ideologies, abrasive sounds, and antiestablishment appearances to rebel, Young Marble Giants used restraint, ambiguity, and silence, redefining the genre’s sense of rebellion. But where did these radical ideas come from? By tracing Colossal Youth’s logistical, geographical, ideological, and 20th-century art historical origins, Colossal Youth is established as a brilliant record, a cult favorite, and a continuing influence on musicians today.

Supercell's Supercell featuring Hatsune Miku Keisuke Yamada, University of Pennsylvania, USA Adapted by adaptor

This book explores the circulatory culture of fan production and consumption, as embodied by Vocaloids (voice-synthesized virtual characters) and the DTM (desktop music) phenomena, through a close reading of Supercell (2009). This album features Hatsune Miku, the Vocaloid character. She is a virtual pop superstar, “singing” in over 100,000 songs uploaded by fans. The book examines these issues through the lenses of media and fan studies. Supercell provides readers with a sense of how interactive new media and an empowered fan base combine to engage in the creation processes and enhance the circulation of DTM works.

Yoko Kanno's Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack Rose Bridges, University of Texas-Austin, USA Adapted by adaptor

Cowboy Bebop is one of the most beloved anime series of all time, and if you ask its fans why, you can expect to hear about its music. Composer Yoko Kanno created an eclectic blend of jazz, rock, lullabies, folk and funk (to list just a few) for Cowboy Bebop's many moods and environments. This volume places the music in context of Kanno's larger body of work and analyzes how the music tells Spike, Faye, Jet and the rest of the crew's stories. Cowboy Bebop and its music are like nothing else, and they deserve a guide to match.

Tim Maia's Tim Maia Racional Vols. 1 & 2 Allen Thayer, Independent Scholar, USA

Nothing Has Been Done Before Seeking the New in 21st-Century American Popular Music

Adapted by adaptor

At the height of Tim Maia’s soaring fame, he joined a radical, extraterrestrial-obsessed cult and created two plus albums of some of Brazil’s—and the globe’s—best funk and soul music. Allen Thayer explores this strange, brief, yet incredibly prolific period of Maia’s life wherein the reigning soul and funk artist of Brazil produced two albums, an EP, and a recently unearthed tape containing funky jams laced with spiritual content and scripture. This book will explore the career of the man often hailed as the James Brown or Barry White of Brazil, and the time of his radical transformation.

Robert Loss, Columbus College of Art and Design, USA Adapted by adaptor

Nothing Has Been Done Before instigates a fresh debate about music released since turn of the millennium: an era of repurposing, hyperconsumerism, and technology. The book follows a diverse cast of musicians as they seek the new, from the dusty roads of Bob Dylan's Love and Theft to the glamorous pop spectacle of the American Wow; from Kanye West's gilded techno-futurism to a Guided By Voices tribute concert in a local dive bar. Nothing Has Been Done Before is a counter-orthodoxy to current music criticism and the perception of music as merely a product, arguing for a revitalized understanding of popular music.

Beyond No Future Cultures of German Punk Edited by Cyrus M. Shahan, Colby College, USA, Seth Howes, University of Missouri, USA & Mirko M. Hall, Converse College, USA Adapted by adaptor

"This book does a wonderful job of both contextualizing punk’s place within German history and showing how punk musicians worldwide have engaged with German history and politics." Priscilla D. Layne, Assistant Professor of German, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA Beyond No Future examines German punk’s representational strategies, anti-historical consciousness, and refusal of programmatic intervention into contemporary political debates. Focusing on punk politics and aesthetics in order to ask questions about German nationhood(s) in a period of rapid transition, these essays offers a unique view of the decade bookended by the “German Autumn” and German unification.

The Clash Takes on the World Transnational Perspectives on The Only Band that Matters Edited by Samuel Cohen, University of Missouri, USA & James Peacock, Keele University, UK Adapted by adaptor

On their debut, The Clash famously claimed to be “bored with the USA,” but The Clash wasn’t a parochial record. Mick Jones’ licks on songs such as “Hate and War” were heavily influenced by classic American rock and roll, and the cover of Junior Murvin’s reggae hit “Police and Thieves” showed that the band’s musical influences were already wideranging. The Clash Takes on the World explores the transnational aspects of The Clash’s music, lyrics and politics, and it does so from a truly transnational perspective.

The Late Voice Time, Age and Experience in Popular Music Richard Elliott, Newcastle University, UK Adapted by adaptor

“Engagingly written, carefully thought through, and characterised by exemplary scholarship, Richard Elliott’s book navigates with great elegance some complex theoretical waters. Through a selection of rich case studies, Elliott offers a powerful contribution to a growing body of work on ageing, nostalgia, and memory, particularly in relation to music.” - Freya Jarman, Senior Lecturer, Department of Music, University of Liverpool, UK The Late Voice seeks to connect age, experience and lateness with particular performers and performance traditions via the identification and analysis of a late voice in singers and songwriters of mid-late 20th-century popular music.

Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocation A Reading of the Lyrics 1965-1967 Louis A. Renza, Dartmouth College, USA Adapted by adaptor

Many critics have interpreted Bob Dylan’s lyrics in the context of American folk, blues, and rock 'n’ roll, social, political and cultural relevance, or their status for discussion as “poems.” Dylan's Autobiography of a Vocationinstead focuses on how Dylan’s songs manifest traces of his ongoing, internal “autobiography” in which he continually declares and questions his relation to a self-determined existential summons. Louis Renza explores all of Bob Dylan’s lyrics composed during what many critics consider Dylan's most creative period, between 1965 and 1969, and places them in the context of Dylan's own life.

Over and Over Exploring Repetition in Popular Music Edited by Olivier Julien, Universite ParisSorbonne, France & Christophe Levaux, Université de Liège, Belgium Adapted by adaptor

The first edited volume on repetition in 20th- and 21st-century popular music, Over and Over explores the wide-ranging forms and use of repetition — from large repetitive structures to micro repetitions, and even to drones — in relation to both specific and large-scale issues and contexts. After decades of riffs, loops, vamps, reiterated rhythmic patterns, pervasive harmonic formulae and recurring structural units in standardised song forms, Over and Over gives these notions the recognition they deserve in the study of popular music.

This collection presents a comprehensive account of the music video from a contemporary 21st-century perspective. This entails revisiting key moments in the canonical history of the music video, exploring its articulations of sexuality and gender, examining its functioning as a form of artistic expression between music, film and video art, and following the music video’s dissemination into the digital domain, considering how digital media and social media have come to re-invent the forms and functions of the music video, well beyond the limits of “music television”.

SOUND STUDIES & SOUND ART

Audio Culture, Revised Edition Readings in Modern Music Edited by Christoph Cox, Hampshire College, USA & Daniel Warner, Hampshire College, USA

The Study of Sound Series editor: Michael Bull, University of Sussex, UK Each book in The Study of Sound series offers a concise look at a single concept within the field of sound studies, with an emphasis on the interdisciplinary nature of the topics at hand.

Adapted by adaptor

The groundbreaking Audio Culture: Readings in Modern Music maps the aural and discursive terrain of vanguard music today. Rather than offering a history of contemporary music, Audio Culture traces the genealogy of current musical practices and theoretical concerns, drawing lines of connection between recent musical production and earlier moments of sonic experimentation. In this new and expanded edition, Audio Culture explores the interconnections among such forms as minimalism, indeterminacy, musique concrète, free improvisation, experimental music, avant-rock, dub reggae, ambient music, hip hop, and techno via writings by philosophers, cultural theorists, and composers.

Sirens Michael Bull, University of Sussex, UK Adapted by adaptor

Ideologies of the sirens embody both the protective and the dangerous elements of siren sounds—from the Cold War public training exercises in the US to the seductive power of the sirens entrenched in popular culture; from the music of Roxy Music to Tom O’Dell and in filmic representations of the ‘femme-fatale’ in film noir and beyond. This first volume in The Study of Sound series argues that we should understand ‘siren sounds’ both as myth and as materiality embodying both danger and protectiveness. Sirens then poses the question as to whether we can rely on the sirens in contemporary culture.

The Sound of Nonsense Richard Elliott, Newcastle University, UK Adapted by adaptor

The Sound of Nonsense highlights the importance of sound in understanding the ‘nonsense’ of writers such as Lewis Carroll, Edward Lear, James Joyce and Mervyn Peake, before connecting this noisy writing to works which engage more directly with sound, including sound poetry, experimental music and pop. By emphasizing sonic factors, Richard Elliott makes new and fascinating connections between a wide range of artistic examples to ultimately build a case for the importance of sound in creating, maintaining and disrupting meaning.

The Sonic Persona

Caleb Kelly, University of New South Wales, Australia

An Anthropology of Sound

Adapted by adaptor

Increasingly, sound is deliberately placed into art exhibitions—from video art to floor talks, from performance to cash registers, sound fills the exhibition environment. Yet sound is a phenomenon that inevitably confounds boundaries, forever bleeding through walls and encroaching into other spaces. To date there has been minimal scholarship regarding sound within the bounds of the purportedly visual art gallery, and Gallery Sound aims to address this gap in knowledge. This book will listen to the deliberate inclusion of sound as well as the incidental sounds that have been mined for creative outputs in visual art.

The Process That Is the World Cage/Deleuze/Events/Performances Joe Panzner, Ohio State University, USA Adapted by adaptor

“This book is a dazzling achievement; Joe Panzner shows how Cage’s ideas are in dialogue with continental philosophy and, in so doing, offers important new perspectives on his work, its performance, and its overall significance.” Rob Haskins, Professor, University of New Hampshire, USA The vision of John Cage that emerges in this study is not just of the maverick composer or “inventor of genius,” but of a thinker responding to important insights about the world-as-process as it extends through the philosophical, artistic, and ethical registers: the world as potential for variance and permanent revolution.

Holger Schulze, Humbolt University, Germany Adapted by adaptor

The Sonic Persona undertakes a critical study of some of the most influential studies in sound since the 19th century in the natural sciences, engineering and architectural theory. From this critique of recent sound theories and their anthropological concepts, Holger Schulze develops an alternate and more plastic and visceral framework for research in the field of a cultural anthropology of sounding and listening. With Schulze's anthropology of sound, the individual sonic persona is to be heard in dynamic and generative tension between predetermined auditory dispositives, miniaturized sound practices and its idiosyncratic sensory body: a critique of the senses.

Immanence and Immersion On the Acoustic Condition in Contemporary Art Will Schrimshaw, Edge Hill University, UK Adapted by adaptor

Immanence and Immersion takes a critical approach to the figures of immersion and interiority describing an acoustic condition in contemporary art. The variously phenomenological, correlational and mystical positions that support the predominance of the immersive are subject to critique before suggesting that a stronger distinction between the often confused concepts of immersion and the immanence might serve as a means of breaking with the figure of immersion and the circle of interiority towards attaining greater conceptual potency and epistemological efficacy within the sonic arts.

Low End Theory Bass, Bodies and the Materiality of Sonic Experience Paul C. Jasen, Carleton University, Canada Adapted by adaptor

“We live in a world of vibrations. Sound envelops us, moves us, caresses or assaults us—especially in the lower frequencies that we cannot hear directly. In Low End Theory, Paul Jasen provides us with an ontology of bass. He works through the many ways— natural, social, and technological—that subsonic frequencies haunt us, affect us, and change us.” Steven Shaviro, DeRoy Professor of English, Wayne State University, USA Low End Theory asks what it is about bass that has always fascinated us. How does bass undulate and unsettle, incite, and draw bodily thought into new equations with itself and its surroundings?
