About this album
Book Of Love is a bright, hook-filled synth-pop debut that helped define the mid-1980s electronic underground. Released in 1986, the album pairs sharp drum-machine pulse and gleaming keyboards with a playful, romantic sensibility that set the group apart from their darker contemporaries. Songs such as “I Touch Roses” and “Boy” brought the band cult recognition and remain closely associated with New York club culture and the wider rise of dance-friendly pop in the era. Its mix of sophistication, whimsy and melancholy gives the record lasting appeal as one of the standout American synth-pop albums of its time.
