new book: Kommune by Youth

A new edition from Bracketpress...

We are pleased to announce the publication of the third collection of poetry, prose and illustrations by renowned record producer and musician Youth. Written over the past few months the main recurring theme is community: "Now more than ever, where we live increasingly in isolated and virtual worlds afraid of the unknown. Where fear rules and we are taught that stranger means danger. Where we are conditioned to distraction through the hollow promises of marketing bourgeoisie via consumerism and entertainment. Community becomes even more relevant and still more important. This is where we can share, help and learn from each other. Where we can regain our personal sovereignty and re-discover our divinity and humanity."
– from the introduction by Youth

The book is available to buy at venues hosting Killing Joke's 'Absolute Dissent' tour which is currently shedding much light and joy across many parts of Europe and will move on through America and Canada during December.
We have a limited number available for immediate dispatch through the web site.
