| Abstract | "Brimming over with fake wind-chimes, dreamy synth pads, and hyperactive slap-bass, Eyeliner's Buy Now is an ebullient homage to the kitsch sounds of the 80s and 90s. It epitomizes a new kind of album for our times: DIY, all-digital, free, licensed as Creative Commons, and belonging to a "virtual" genre, an internet-based scene without geographic center. Drawing on the album's production archive and interviews with Rowell, this book argues that Buy Now offers both musical pleasure and mental survival-training for an era when sincerity and irony can appear dangerously indistinguishable"-- Provided by publisher. |
