(Text)
Popular music is as much about places as it is about sounds.
Its production is forged in studios, rehearsal areas and bedrooms, places often mythologised in popular music history. Popular music is also recorded using studio techniques designed to recreate space, through reverb and other effects. Its collective consumption happens in concert halls, clubs and bars while its individual consumption takes place in streets, homes and at bus stops; all physical places. In addition, popular music often represents or sounds like certain urban or rural, real or imagined places of various scales. These places are often invisible, intangible and hidden behind the music, or recreated on record covers and music videos.

(Review)
In total, this edited volume provides valuable insights into the interrelation of music and its places of production and performance. [...] This edited collection offers many interesting case studies for urban and popular music studies that can be valuable for further theoretical work.
