Bedsit Land: The Strange Worlds of Soft Cell A fascinating exploration of the influential pop duo Soft Cell, this book delves into the archives and interviews with over sixty contributors, including the band members themselves. The result is a rich and revealing examination of the band's extraordinary career, spanning a wide range of sounds, influences, and innovations that changed the face of music. From the faded glamour of the British seaside to the sleaze and squalor of pre-gentrified Soho, Soft Cell's journey is a story of transgressive art, club culture, and the highs and lows of the music industry. With a wealth of new insights and perspectives, this book offers a fresh and engaging look at one of the most iconic and influential bands of the 1980s.
