Bedsit Land : The Strange Worlds of Soft Cell
Soft Cell - Book - by Patrick Clarke
(2024)
A rich and revealing examination of the legendary pop duo Soft Cell.
Soft Cell are not your average pop band. Marc Almond and Dave Ball may
be best known for the string of hits they released in 1981, but the
powerful first phase of their collaboration embraced a staggering array
of sounds, influences and innovations that would change the face of
music to come.
In Bedsit land, Patrick Clarke plunges into the
archives and interviews more than sixty contributors, including the
band members themselves, to follow Soft Cell through the many strange
and sprawling worlds that shaped their extraordinary career. They lead
him from the faded camp glamour of the British seaside to the dizzying
thrills of the New York club scene. From transgressive student
performance art to the sleaze and squalor of pre-gentrified Soho.
From the glitz of British showbiz to the drug-addled chaos of post-Franco Spain. -- .
