Hypelandia: The Subcultural Oral History of 80s Portland, 90s Berlin, & 2010s Detroit
This is the uncensored oral history of musicians, artists, and subcultures who were young & hip in the wasteland of 80s Portland, the squats of reunified Berlin, and the postapocalyptic ruins of Great Recession Detroit. 33 interviewees—with plenty of lurid tales, humor, and shameless sincerity—bicker for center stage, talk shit, contradict one another, romanticize their past, and criticize the present.
“Portlandia’s evil twin” —Mitch Miller, front man of the uns
“The must-have book for hipsters this year (if there are any left)” —Io, front woman of Metaflora
“Ranks right alongside Please Kill Me: The Uncensored Oral History of Punk and Meet Me in the Bathroom: Rebirth and Rock 'n' Roll in New York City 2001-2011 as the best music-focused oral histories” —Gilberto Delacroix, journalist
