Trophies by David Sylvian is a collection of lyrics compiled into a book, both beautiful and almost romantic in appearance.
Sylvian (born 1958 as David Alan Batt) was the lead vocalist of the 1970s and early 1980s British band 'Japan', a new wave group with a distinctive avant-garde style. After the band disbanded in 1982, Sylvian embarked on a solo career, releasing several albums such as 'Brilliant Trees', 'Words with the Shaman', 'Gone to Earth', 'Secrets of the Beehive', and many more to date. His long-term collaborations include numerous musicians and artists such as Yuka Fujii, Robert Fripp, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Holger Czukay, Steve Jansen, Keith Lowe, Takuma Watanabe, and others.
The career of this versatile avant-garde musician testifies to the many musical styles he has explored over 5 decades: art pop, new wave, ambient pop.
