Accolades #1. Artists present hidden gems

Have you ever wondered who your favourite artists admire and who they want to shine a spotlight on? Wonder no longer.

In this first volume of Accolades, a wide range of musicians, composers, and songwriters praise and present their treasured gems. Contributors from Steve Albini to "Weird Al" Yankovic, from Julien Baker to Margo Price, present accolades to cherished colleagues, to amazing actors and authors, to admired activists and athletes, to precious poets and esteemed engineers. Belgian‐based illustrator Tom De Geeter thoughtfully curated this line-up of contributors. He interviewed close to 200 artists and asked them just these two questions: who do you want to honour and why? De Geeter''s vivid, bold yet delicate line drawings accompany their answers in style and make Accolades a more than exceptional project for you to dive right into.

Close to 200 contributions by musicians like Steve Albini, Julien Baker, Jehnny Beth, Dan Deacon, Feist, Steve Gunn, Tim Heidecker, Page Hamilton, Joan As Police Woman, Lambchop, Larkin Poe, Ian MacKaye, Mark Mothersbaugh, Margo Price, Mauro, Sun Kil Moon, Mike Watt, "Weird Al" Yankovic, but also from members of bands like Amenra, Bad Company, Bauhaus, Efterklang, Fleet Foxes, Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Grandaddy, Grizzly Bear, Guided by Voices, The Hold Steady, Khruangbin, Royal Trux, Unsane, Xiu Xiu, and many more.
