Book: “MEKONS HELLO CRUEL WORLD”

Description

Collecting over 100 lyrics from the Mekons’ 18 albums, many of them distinctively illustrated by band members in a style that pays tribute to the illuminated printing of William Blake, this comprehensive look at the multifaceted artistic collective that has been going since 1977 also features reproductions of hand-written lyric drafts and additional artwork, plus 16 pages of intimate, evocative photos of the Mekons on the road by noted photographer Anne Lehmen.
