<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>Examining new genres from the UK and across the Atlantic, including mumble rap, Brooklyn drill, UK drill, trap dancehall and Afrobeats, <i>Neon Screams</i> explores the dystopias and dissociative transcendence offered by this boundary-pushing music.</b> <p/><b>With a foreword by Simon Reynolds, <i>Neon Screams</i> explores the plethora of new street genres that have emerged at the turn of the 2020s.</b> <p/><i>Neon Screams</i> is a manifesto, a rallying cry for the new musical futurism. Taking street music's embrace of Auto-Tune in the late 2000s as his starting point, Kit Mackintosh launches you through a whirlwind tour of the last decade of cutting-edge music, championing the modern genres still uncovering the sonic impossible, from mumble rap to drill to Afrobeats, bashment and beyond. <p/>Beginning where most future music chronicles end, Mackintosh establishes a new pantheon of pioneers and innovators. Offering dizzying insights into the likes of Future, Young Thug, Migos and Vybz Kartel, <i>Neon Screams</i> is conceptual weaponry to use against all those who say music isn't what it used to be. <p/>Part polemic, part synesthetic possession, <i>Neon Screams</i> is essential reading for everyone eager to uncover the new frontiers of future music.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Kit Mackintosh</b> is a musician and producer from London who has collaborated with the likes of This Heat's Charles Hayward and Ben Watson.<br/><br/><b>Simon Reynolds</b> is the author of <i>Retromania</i> and <i>Rip It Up and Start Again.</i>
