\"\"Strangers On This Road: The Life And Music of Dave Davies<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Cam Cobb<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cDave Davies<\/strong> was 17 when he and The Kinks<\/strong> recorded You Really Got Me<\/em>. With the British Invasion in full swing, the precocious teenager was thrown into the storm. In an instant, he had it all \u2014 hit records, fame, adoring fans, even an older brother in his band. But all was not well. Living a Bacchus<\/strong>-like life in Swinging London, Davies was haunted by ghosts from his past and an unshakeable longing. When he had his own hit single at age 21, a solo career appeared on the horizon. Two years later, The Kinks<\/strong> had become a commercial disaster and the guitarist\u2019s own solo career fizzled. In the 1960s and \u201970s, Davies recorded an arsenal of songs both with The Kinks<\/strong> and on his own, yet they remained unreleased for decades. This is the story of his life and music. It is a story of great excess, great loss, and a spiritual journey.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vaporwave: <\/strong><\/span><\/em>33\u2153 Genre Series
<\/strong><\/span><\/em>By Kirk Walker Graves<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cVaporwave is music as meme, an ironic and difficult to classify microgenre born online at the turn of the 2010s in an explosion of millennial ambivalence. It blends an unlikely spectrum of musical elements \u2014 from Muzak<\/strong> and the incidental sounds of music on hold, to manipulated samples of smooth jazz, to looped fragments of the easy listening hits of decades past \u2014 and asks questions about authenticity, originality, and sincerity in a culture of falsity. Defined by a deadpan nostalgia for the optimism of late 20th-century consumer culture, vaporwave quickly evolved from a generation\u2019s inside joke into a digital subculture with its own aesthetic worldview. This is a definitive study of a still-evolving phenomenon. Profiling its key artists and producers while exploring the blurred feedback loop between music and online, it makes a convincing argument for the music\u2019s importance and relevance to the culture at large, both as an art form in its own right and as the ethos of some of Gen Z<\/strong>\u2018s most successful pop stars.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bluegrass And Religion<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
By Pete Ward<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE:<\/strong> \u201cTracking music that first arose from a close relationship to the religion of the American South, this book explores the ways in which they have taken on new meanings in a post-religious environment. Pete Ward<\/strong> first gives a historical account of the relationship between old-time and bluegrass music and religion. These chapters explore how bluegrass music has been shaped and influenced by Christian experience and practice. Drawing on archival research, the book connects findings around the music to research on and the development of evangelicalism into the 20th century and reactions against belief that were common in the folk revival. The second part of the book is based on ethnographic field work, from both the U.S. and the U.K., including textual analysis of songs and participant observation of concerts and interviews with performers. The differences of context between the U.S. and the U.K. are considered as they relate to issues of post-Christian sensibilities and non-religion.\u201d<\/p>\n
