'A fascinating read' Lauren Laverne
'Impossible not to love' Jacqueline Crooks
In Songs in the Key of MP3, Liam Inscoe-Jones explores five artists who broke the old rules of sound, style and the music industry at large: Devonté Hynes (of Blood Orange), FKA Twigs, Oneohtrix Point Never, Earl Sweatshirt and SOPHIE. Each began their careers as outsiders but, over time, they helped re-shape pop culture in their image. Through these five extraordinary figures and an eclectic supporting cast of dozens more, Inscoe-Jones paints a picture of the sonic landscape of the last ten years, exploring the influence of their dazzling music on pop culture, the internet and ourselves.
An unorthodox mix of criticism, biography and music history - and featuring interviews with the likes of Caroline Polachek, Daniel Lopatin and Nicolás Jaar - this is a book of endless curiosity and wonder, a salutary attempt to define pop culture in a fast and ephemeral age.
'A total breath of fresh air' Huw Stephens, BBC Radio 6

Nothing sweets me more than a music book that breaks the mould. This vibrant read amplifies here-and-now talents, featuring some of my favourite artists . . . It defies categorisation and captures the essence of what makes these musicians so captivating. Impossible not to love it
A daring book that affords the multifarious music of the modern streaming age and its most innovative - and successful - creative outliers with the deep, long-form analysis usually reverentially reserved for the dust-covered past. An important and fascinating cultural document
Tremendous, crisp writing. Liam strikes a perfect balance between the infectiously enthusiastic and the surgically thorough
A beautifully researched and deeply engaging exploration of the boundary-pushers who redefined music and identity in a fast-moving, ephemeral era, laid out with such clarity and passion that this book feels as essential to understanding our present as Mystery Train and As Serious as Your Life were to theirs
Fascinating
A modern take on five fascinating musicians and the worlds which created them. Insightful, beautifully told and as exciting as listening to your favourite music. A total breath of fresh air
A great primer [with] a deeper sense of mission . . . Twenty-first century culture can often seem glutted, but this book serves as a rejoinder not to get bamboozled by the algorithm blizzards into thinking it's nothing but simulacra and ghosts (Joe Muggs)
This is speedy, enthusiastic stuff . . . Songs in the Key of MP3 impresses most in the sheer excitement with which its author views his subject
One of those books where you'll find yourself shocked that it didn't exist before: it's a mapping out of the modern musical landscape on terms defined by the artists who've come to define it
