Description

In 1979, from the basement of a London squat, the Raincoats reinvented what punk may well be. They’d a violin player. They came from Portugal, Spain, and England. Their anarchy was once poetic. Working with the long-lasting Rough Trade Records at its radical beginnings, they were the primary group of punk women to actively call themselves feminists.

In this short book – the primary at the Raincoats – creator Jenn Pelly tells the tale of the crowd’s audacious debut album, which Kurt Cobain once known as “wonderfully classic scripture.” Pelly builds on rare archival materials and extensive interviews with members of the Raincoats, Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill, Hole, Scritti Politti, Gang of Four, and more. She draws formal inspiration from the collage-like The Raincoats itself to explore this album’s magic, vulnerability, and strength.
