I was excited to read the new book about the Raincoats, I ended up with 50 pages of notes before I even talked to @audreyjgolden.bsky.social about her work & I loved the book so much I changed this week's column to focus on it exclusively: www.salon.com/2025/07/22/y...

Great interview about The Raincoats, and the process of writing a book about them, with @audreyjgolden.bsky.social. Looking forward to reading Shouting Out Loud.

The book cover for 'Shouting Out Loud - Lives of The Raincoats' by Audrey Golden. The cover is red with the text top and bottom. There is a photo in the middle of the band (The Raincoats') in what looks like a slightly Xeroxed style. The band are performing in the photo, playing guitars and singing into microphones and you can see an amplifier or two in the background. The Raincoats' are ace, BTW.

Author @audreyjgolden.bsky.social offers something slightly unusual when articulating the word biography. Seeing a resurgence these days, its one of the core themes of music appreciation: you gotta do the history yourself. Shouting Out Loud: Lives of The Raincoats publishes July 15 from Da Capo.

This is really *really* good. "With the recent UK Supreme Court recently ruling against trans women and massive attacks on trans rights by the Trump administration in America, The Raincoats remain crucial."
