Telling Stories : Photographs of The Fall
The Fall - Book - by Kevin Cummins
(2022)
Simon
Armitage'Kevin Cummins is a true master in being able to capture the
essence of music, the soul of the band. Whatever he does however he does
it is a mystery to me but it's pure genius.' - Rankin'Kevin has the
uncanny ability of capturing the inner mood of musicians. Be it the
dynamics within a pensive Joy Division, or the sense surrounding the
fledgeling Fall that something special was around the corner for us all.
Kevin's
book is nothing less than a remarkable document of a bewildering and
defiant anti-fashion movement born in Prestwich, north Manchester in the
grimy mid-70s.' - Marc Riley'Capturing forty years of the band's career
via his archive, the legendary photographer (whose recent book,
Juvenes, documented the story of Joy Division) gives his take on the
phenomenon of The Fall and the late, great Mark E. Smith.' - Vive le
