A "hugely entertaining" history of the 1980s New Wave music scene told through new interviews with its biggest artists ( Rolling Stone).Mad World is a compelling oral history that celebrates the New Wave music phenomenon of the 1980s via new interviews with 35 of the most notable artists of the period. Each chapter begins with a discussion of their most popular song and leads to stories of their history and place in the scene, ultimately painting a vivid picture of this colorful, idiosyncratic time. Mixtape suggestions, fashion sidebars, and quotes from famous contemporary admirers help fill out the fun. Participants include members of Duran Duran, New Order, The Smiths, Tears for Fears, Adam Ant, Echo, and the Bunnymen, Devo, ABC, Spandau Ballet, A Flock of Seagulls, Thompson Twins, INXS, and more. "One addictive chapter after another." —Rob Sheffield, author of Talking to Girls About Duran Duran "Tells the tale of some of the decade's most unforgettable songs . . . in fascinating detail, letting the architects of these memorable records shine a light on how the sound of a generation came to be." — The Hollywood Reporter "The new wave era is often dismissed for its one-hit wonders and silly haircuts, but [ Mad World] examines the period with a great deal of love and reverence." — Buzzfeed "A really informative and insightful read." — People |
