Cries And Whispers is the long-awaited follow-up to 2015’s A Foreign Place, Anthony Reynolds' hugely successful biography of the band Japan.
Detailing the fascinating musical adventures of Richard Barbieri, Rob Dean, Steve Jansen, Mick Karn and David Sylvian from 1983 to 1991, the book takes in Sylvian’s solo work, The Dolphin Brothers, Dali’s Car, the brilliant but ill-feted reunion release Rain Tree Crow, and more.
Designed by Carl Glover, it includes many rare photographs, plus contributions from Bill Nelson, Johnny Marr, Bill Bruford, Robbie Aceto, Simon Raymonde, Ivo, Martin Fry, Michael Brook, Tim Bowness, Paul Morley, Thomas Dolby, the late Colin Vearncombe and others.
“Finally, a book as rich and complex and beautiful as the music itself. Packed with details and stories that will be new to even the most hardcore Japan fan”
Mat Osman, Suede
