Publisher's Synopsis

THE LOUDER THAN WAR #1 BOOK OF THE YEAR
A ROUGH TRADE, THE TIMES, MOJO, UNCUT BOOK OF THE YEAR

'Thoroughly engrossing, insightful and immersive.' Record Collector

Over a prolific forty-year career, the Fall created a world that was influential, idiosyncratic and fiercely original; it was an education. Who wouldn't want to be armed with a working knowledge of M. R. James, contemporary dance and Manchester City.
Bringing together previously unseen artwork, rare ephemera and handwritten material, alongside essays by a slate of fans, Excavate! is a vivid, definitive record - an illumination of the dark corners of the Fall's wonderful and frightening world.

'As jagged and as curveball-hurling as peak-period Fall, Excavate! is a box of tricks, lovingly curated . . . tantalising' The i

'To 50,000 Fall Fans: please buy this inspired & inspiring, profound & provocative, beautiful & bonkers Book of Revelations.' David Peace

'Gorgeous' The Washington Post
