Description

THE LOUDER THAN WAR #1 BOOK OF THE YEAR

A ROUGH TRADE, THE TIMES, MOJO, UNCUT, THE HERALD BOOK OF THE YEAR

"To 50,000 Fall Fans: please buy this inspired & inspiring, profound & provocative, beautiful & bonkers Book of Revelations."

DAVID PEACE

"Mind blowing... brilliant."
TIM BURGESS

"A container sized treasure trove bursting at the hinges with strangeness and wonder ... I strongly advise you to buy it."
MAXINE PEAKE

A definitive insight into the ever-influential world of Mark E. Smith and the Fall, bringing together previously unseen artwork, rare ephemera and handwritten material, alongside essays by a slate of fans.


This is not a book about a rock band. This is not even a book about Mark E
Smith. This is a book about The Fall group - or more precisely, their world.

Over a prolific forty-year career, the Fall created a world that was influential,
idiosyncratic and fiercely original; it was an education. Who wouldn't want
to be armed with a working knowledge of M.R. James, contemporary dance
and Manchester City?

Bringing together previously unseen artwork, rare ephemera and handwritten
material, alongside essays by a slate of fans, EXCAVATE! is a vivid, definitive
record - an illumination of the dark corners of the Fall's wonderful and frightening world.
