New book documenting the early years of DFA Records announced

Photographs of the prolific rise of DFA Records take centre stage in the release of a new book. Tim Soter’s photographs take centre stage, highlighting the meteoric rise of the pioneering record label run by Tim Goldsworthy and James Murphy.

Tim Soter says in the preface, “This book is for the fans. It’s for the gearheads, the photo nerds, the party people, the music historians and the completists. It’s for the guest list beggars, the friend of a friend, the plus ones and the plus nones. It’s for the artists themselves, who can expect to see a few photos they haven’t seen before. This book is for those who got turned on to DFA after the fact and of course, it’s for the ones who were there.”
