The Books - The Way Out

Reviewed by yewknee

What can you say about The Books? They absolutely exist in their own genre. There are plenty of bands doing field recordings and found audio with beats... maybe even mixed with their own lyrics and vocals but the catch with The Books is that the two principle members are massively nerdy. Obviously, I say this with absolutely zero negativity - as it creates a sound and execution in their music that no one else comes close to. This album isn't my favorite of theirs but I can still easily say that its a record I enjoy listening to repeatedly; even if its just for pure fascination. [www.thebooksmusic.com]
