Strange Attractor Press Publishes Book of Current 93 Photographs

Strange Attractor Press are thrilled to present: Skipping To Armageddon: Photographs of Current 93 & Friends by Ruth Bayer. DavidTibet.com sez:
“Bringing together for the first time, the music photography of Ruth Bayer, who has documented key players in the English musical post-punk underground since the mid 1980s.

“With unprecedented access and intimacy, Ruth has photographed luminaries and legends including Marc Almond, Little Annie, John Balance, Peter Christopherson, Shirley Collins, Cyclobe, Baby Dee, Steven Stapleton, David Tibet, Tony (TS) McPhee, Norbert Kox, Tiny Tim, and many others, in a career spanning three decades.

“This is a unique collection, featuring over one hundred timeless and iconic images of some of the most influential, eccentric and sometimes controversial musicians of their times.”

“Like much of the music made by the artists who entrusted her to reflect their mercurial spirits, Bayer’s pictures are magic.”
From the introduction by Michel Faber.
