{"product_id":"siouxsie-and-the-banshees-peepshow-9781501321863","title":"Siouxsie and the Banshees' Peepshow","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1978, Siouxsie and the Banshees declared 'We don't see ourselves in the same context as other rock'n'roll bands.' A decade later, and in the stark aftermath of a devastating storm, the band retreated to a 17th-century mansion house in the deracinated Sussex countryside to write their ninth studio album, \u003ci\u003ePeepshow\u003c\/i\u003e. Here, the band absorbed the bygone, rural atmosphere and its inspirational \u003ci\u003emise en sc\u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003ene\u003c\/i\u003e, thus framing the record cinematically, as Siouxsie Sioux recalled, 'It was as if we were doing the whole thing on the set of \u003ci\u003eThe Wicker Man\u003c\/i\u003e'. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSamantha Bennett looks at how Siouxsie and the Banshees' \u003ci\u003ePeepshow\u003c\/i\u003e is better understood in the context of film and film music (as opposed to popular music studies or, indeed, the works of other rock'n'roll bands). Drawing upon more than one hundred films and film scores, this book focuses on \u003ci\u003ePeepshow\u003c\/i\u003e's deeply embedded historical and aesthetic (para)cinematic influences: How is each track a reflection of genre film? Who are the various featured protagonists? And how does \u003ci\u003ePeepshow\u003c\/i\u003e's diverse orchestration, complex musical forms, atypical narratives and evocative soundscapes reveal an inherently cinematic record? Ultimately, \u003ci\u003ePeepshow\u003c\/i\u003e can be read as a soundtrack to all the films Siouxsie and the Banshees ever saw. Or perhaps it was the soundtrack to the greatest film they never made.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-4024325\"\u003eSamantha Bennett\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 6.40h x 4.70w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781501321863\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1501321862\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-MUS\"\u003eMusic\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-MUS020000\"\u003eHistory \u0026amp; Criticism | General\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-MUS\"\u003eMusic\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-MUS035000\"\u003eGenres \u0026amp; Styles | Rock\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-MUS\"\u003eMusic\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-MUS050000\"\u003eIndividual Composer \u0026amp; Musician\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamantha Bennett\u003c\/b\u003e is a sound recordist, guitarist, and Associate Professor in Music at the Australian National University, Australia.
