The Clean: In the Dreamlife You Need a Rubber Soul is the definitive oral history of New Zealand's most influential underground band.

Formed in Dunedin in 1978, The Clean pioneered the lo-fi DIY ethos that shaped alternative music globally, inspiring acts like Pavement and Yo La Tengo. Written by journalist Richard Langston—a 40-year friend of the band—this book captures their journey from teenage bedroom musicians to international icons through interviews with band members, fellow artists, and the inner circle who witnessed their rise. Essential reading about one of NZ' most essential bands.
