Being able to easily cue up a song just as you\u2019re reading about it is a small, modern joy, and it\u2019s one we took full advantage of in 2020. In a year largely bereft of live music or even social lives, there was plenty of time to curl up with a good book and the music described therein.

Balearic: Historia oral de la cultura de club en Ibiza<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

By Luis Costa and Christian Len<\/p>\n

Just 50 years ago, many Ibizan homes lacked telephones, running water, and even electricity. How, then, did this rocky Mediterranean island become a central hub in global electronic music\u2014and then a playground for the super rich? Balearic<\/em>, a Spanish-language oral history of clubbing on the White Isle, tells the story in fascinating detail. Luis Costa and Christian Len assemble their tale from scores of interviews with club founders, DJs, and insiders, taking us from the earliest ad-hoc music bars of the 1950s to the present day\u2019s super-clubs and mega-yachts. Their unifying thread is the tension between freedom and excess (we learn that Ibiza was an unlikely bastion of libertinism in the darkest days of Franco\u2019s reign), between experimentation and exploitation. What began as a multi-sensory wonderland where you might hear Manuel G\u00f6ttsching<\/a>\u2019s kosmische masterpiece E2-E4<\/em><\/a> in full while tripping on LSD in a nightclub swimming pool<\/em> has turned into a shrink-wrapped, third-rate facsimile of licentiousness\u2014a capitalist hellscape of VIP lists, ketamine, and all-night, undifferentiated oonce-oonce<\/em>. But that duality is essential to Ibiza\u2019s identity, argues DJ Harvey<\/a>, who is widely recognized as carrying on the spirit of the island\u2019s hedonism and<\/em> its musical adventurousness. \u201cWe need the tree-huggers, the multi-millionaire club owners, and also the olive growers,\u201d he says at one point in Balearic.<\/em> \u201cIt\u2019s like a machine, a pleasure machine, and if you took away any of its parts, it would stop working.\u201d \u2013Philip Sherburne<\/p>\n

Black Diamond Queens: African American Women and Rock and Roll<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

By Maureen Mahon<\/p>\n

Amid the rehashed hero worship and shoddy sourcing of countless tomes on classic rock, Black Diamond Queens<\/em> emerges as a rare gem. Penned by NYU professor and scholar Maureen Mahon, this meticulously researched book is a key entry in the ongoing record-correction of 20th-century popular music history, one that recenters women, and most crucially, women of color. Discerning listeners have long understood that rock\u2019n\u2019roll was the result of white artists playing Black styles of music. But rarely has the \u201cofficial record\u201d acknowledged that there would quite literally be no Elvis without Big Mama Thornton, for whom Leiber and Stoller originally wrote \u201cHound Dog,\u201d and whose rollicking vocal performance is its own form of authorship; Thornton isn\u2019t even in the Rock Hall.<\/p>\n

Mahon focuses on a handful of Black women vocalists from rock\u2019s founding through Tina Turner\u2019s 1984 blockbuster Private Dancer<\/em>, with a strong middle chapter about three countercultural figures who could have inspired the racially transgressive Rolling Stones hit \u201cBrown Sugar\u201d (Devon Wilson, Marsha Hunt, Claudia Lennear). She reframes their stories, and the stories of other pioneering Black women, by emphasizing the autonomy they did have, and how they wielded it within a culture that prized white men\u2019s instrumental virtuosity and thrived on Black stereotypes. So many worthy parties are given their roses, from the many backup singers that helped English rockers access gospel authenticity to the misunderstood genre challengers like LaBelle and Betty Davis to the influential but overlooked girl group the Shirelles. The collective telling of their stories and achievements, within an intersectional feminist framework, is the kind of illuminating scholarship that rock really needs. \u2013Jillian Mapes<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t Slow Down: How 1984 Became Pop\u2019s Blockbuster Year<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

By Michaelangelo Matos<\/p>\n

It was the year that Prince raised the stakes for pop auteurs with Purple Rain<\/em>, that Madonna scandalized with her wedding-themed performance of \u201cLike a Virgin\u201d at the first VMAs, and that Michael Jackson\u2019s Thriller<\/em> ended its record-breaking 37-week reign at the top of the album chart. In Can\u2019t Slow Down<\/em>, veteran music writer Michaelangelo Matos investigates why 1984 was such an explosive year for pop, ditching the intensive interviews that shaped The Underground Is Massive<\/em>, his 2015 history of electronic dance music, for deep archival research. He glimpses at the backstage motives and controversies of artists from R.E.M. to Run-DMC to Lionel Richie, while also exploring the era\u2019s technological shifts\u2014a shiny new format called the CD, the rise of home recordings\u2014and political tensions. The book feels like an ensemble television show, prioritizing shifting perspectives over a tightly-organized narrative. It\u2019s informative, entertaining, and fully immersive. \u2013Cat Zhang<\/p>\n

Fangirls: Scenes From Modern Music Culture<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

By Hannah Ewens<\/p>\n

In Fangirls<\/em>, British music journalist and VICE UK<\/em> editor Hannah Ewens rejects the narrative that her titular subjects are obsessive, hysterical, or unhinged\u2014terms that critics have thrown at female music fans since pop\u2019s advent, and that have been used to deride all sorts of passionate women for centuries before that. Ewens speaks with Directioners, Little Monsters, Beyhive members, and aging Beatlemaniacs about their camaraderie with fellow fans and devotion to their chosen musicians; the book\u2019s most moving chapter features Arianators who drew empowerment from their peers after surviving the 2017 bombing of Ariana Grande\u2019s Manchester concert. Ewens also interviews musicians like Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! and Shirley Manson of Garbage about their experiences with fan culture, as both the adorer and the adored. As a proud fangirl herself, the author approaches her subjects with empathy, validating the importance of these self-made communities. \u2013Quinn Moreland<\/p>\n

Girls Against God<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

By Jenny Hval<\/p>\n

The second novel from Norwegian musician Jenny Hval begins with a young woman\u2019s fascination with black metal. Its prose is as severe, irreverent, and holistically negative as black metal itself, a genre notorious for its corpse paint and church burnings as well as its seething, irreducible sound. Hval is steeped in the traditions of autofiction and the theoretical novel; she once wrote a song in response to Chris Kraus\u2019 I Love Dick.<\/em> As her \u201cprovincial goth\u201d protagonist joins bands and embarks on adventures, she is, like Kathy Acker or Valerie Solanas before her, obsessed with hate\u2014her attempt at psychologically incinerating the corruption of the world around her. The plot aspires toward an \u201cescape route from structure and rhetoric,\u201d and makes room for thrilling observations on art, magic, and rebirth. \u201cI want to take part in a chaos of collective energy,\u201d Hval writes. \u201cI want to be in a band.\u201d \u2013Jenn Pelly<\/p>\n

Glitter Up the Dark: How Pop Music Broke the Binary<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

By Sasha Geffen<\/p>\n

In Glitter Up the Dark<\/em>, Colorado-based critic and Pitchfork contributor Sasha Geffen dismantles the myth of gender experimentation as an anomaly throughout music history by tracing a lineage from blues icons Ma Rainey and Bessie Smith, who sang thinly-veiled lesbian lyrics nearly a century ago, to the present wave of internet-based iconoclasts like Arca and SOPHIE. The timeline is peppered with queer, trans, and gender-subverting artists who ruptured the rules of the binary, ranging from the mega-mainstream (Prince, pop culture\u2019s patron saint of gender mindfuckery) to the underground (proto-punk pioneer Jayne County). The book speaks to pop music\u2019s effect on future generations of norm-breaking artists, but also on public perceptions of gender and its engagement with race and class politics. It\u2019s an essential contribution to the modern music-book canon, made all the more intimate in Geffen\u2019s hands.

How to Write One Song: Loving the Things We Create and How They Love Us Back<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

By Jeff Tweedy<\/p>\n

\u201cSongs are mysterious. Where the fuck do they come from?\u201d asks Jeff Tweedy in the opening lines of his second book. The Wilco frontman elucidates his process in this compact collection of anecdotes and advice, with the humble goal of shepherding a single tune to completion. Rather than dwelling on the mechanics of music theory, How to Write One Song<\/em> offers strategies and good-natured encouragement for passing creative roadblocks like self-doubt, difficulty finding inspiration, and unwillingness to indulge ideas. These are nourishing lessons, equally applicable to someone picking up a guitar for the first time or a musician with many records under their belt. There\u2019s creative potential within us all, Tweedy suggests; sometimes we just need a little help unlocking it. \u2013Quinn Moreland<\/p>\n

Kim Gordon: No Icon<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

By Kim Gordon<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing referred to as an \u2018icon,\u2019 blah blah blah. What does that even mean?\u201d asks Kim Gordon in her new book, which collects never-before-seen photographs, artworks, handwritten lyrics, and more ephemera from the experimental rock luminary\u2019s life. Witness the bassist-vocalist-guitarist wielding a shotgun and mean-mugging in a still from Sonic Youth\u2019s \u201cDeath Valley \u201969<\/a>\u201d video in 1985; beaming beside Sofia Coppola at a fashion show in 1998; performing beneath towering Renaissance paintings in the Louvre in 2019. Gordon may continue to protest her icon status, but this book\u2019s blazing imagery proves she\u2019ll always qualify. \u2013Eric Torres<\/p>\n

Liberation Through Hearing: Rap, Rave & the Rise of XL Recordings<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

By Richard Russell<\/p>\n

In 1994, at age 23, a rap- and rave-loving high school graduate from suburban London found himself the boss of a fledgling UK indie label, XL Recordings. In the quarter-century since, Richard Russell has overseen game-changing releases by M.I.A., Radiohead, Adele, and many others, as well as produced the landmark final albums of luminaries Gil Scott-Heron and Bobby Womack. Russell\u2019s memoir, Liberation Through Hearing<\/em>, recounts this illustrious career with lucid prose and the meticulous detail of a crate-digging music fan. There are memorable cameos from Eazy-E, Rick Rubin, and Madonna, and Russell candidly details his missed opportunity to discover Aphex Twin. But more than juicy industry anecdotes, it\u2019s the author\u2019s introspection about his own life\u2014including an Orthodox Jewish upbringing, struggles with mental health, and a debilitating 2013 bout of neurological illness\u2014that makes the book as resonant as the classic albums Russell has helped to release. The book is peppered with philosophical bon mots about how to find creative and financial freedom through a life in sound, from both the author and his collaborators. Gil Scott-Heron offers a comment about working with Russell that doubles as sage advice for everyday existence: \u201cAll the dreams you show up in are not your own.\u201d \u2013Marc Hogan<\/p>\n

Maybe the People Would Be the Times<\/strong><\/em><\/h2>\n

By Luc Sante<\/p>\n

Luc Sante makes me feel ashamed: for using Spotify and air conditioning, for paying $20 to attend a warehouse party where a creep whispered to me about Xi Jinping. In his second essay collection, the Belgian-born, New York-bred critic writes so rapturously about his generation that every successive one droops in its wake. His peers are the rascals who came of age in \u201970s and \u201980s Manhattan: brazen and foolish, whirling boldly at the \u201cvery forefront of Now.\u201d All of recent history is available for the taking, in the form of old records piled on the street; Jamaican music lopes \u201ctwenty-block miles faster than taxis.\u201d \u201cI wanted to speak the beautiful language of my time,\u201d Sante announces in the epigraph, plucking words from Baudelaire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
