The Books
byebyepanda:
Take Time and Enjoy Your Worries... are great! I love the part where the dude tells the woman to shut up, haha!
FruitKat:
I was at a music store the other day and I listened to the new album...
It was a toss up but I decided to buy Architecture in Helsinki instead.
I'm with Tinjessla I think in saying that this band would take me a little bit of time to get into...
The new album sounds a little different to that link that was given however, as there were actually vocals on the tracks I was listening to.
Maybe I'll go back to the store and have another listen sometime.
I think this was my point though, why don't you try before you buy? Nice record stores let you do choice things like that.
Kid Modernist:
I have all three Books albums, and they are all the shit.
The music is aleotoric, which means they take small bits of other sounds to make up their own music. There's definite songs in all of it. Check out Lost and Safe for the most traditional stuff yet, but even it has the built songs, if you dig it, Lemon of Pink is probably their best.
spizzletrunk:
I have Lost and Safe. It's okay. It's all very interesting but it doesn't grab me. It doesn't infect me. It stimulates me I guess, but only when I'm sleepy and about halfway into an REM cycle. If I listen to them while sleeping, I have like. . .crazy dreams. While awake, though, they bore me somewhat.
MilkmanDan:
If you like The Books (or just awesome music in general), you should pick up 'Prefuse 73 Reads the Books'. It's an EP they did together, and it's like woah.
