After listening to The Books : The Lemon of Pink I fell in love. It was something I had never heard before, ambient and random noises. Though, I listened to another one of their cds, Music for a French Elevator and was a little thrown off, it was definitely The Books, but it was a little too much for me to handle. Pitchfork says that every song by The Books is a movie unto itself, it's true. Each song is able to tell a story, sometimes using words or just fragments of vocal sounds. They have three official full length releases, Food for Thought, The Lemon of Pink (for some reason I always call this the Lemon Touch of Pink, I don't know why), and Lost and Safe. If you want to ease yourself into The Books I suggest you listen to the latter, Lost and Safe, it is the more conventional recording, however you must listen to the other two once you have gotten used to their style.

You Had Better Be Good To Them Always : The Books

DD/MM/YYYY

Sounds like "broken dolls in an abandoned toy factory" according to their MySpace. Focusing on transitional/progressive music the band put together variously split projects, then two years later released The Blue Screen of Death. I was intrigued by the silkscreen and self made packaging of it, it is a fatal error alert (only to be known as the blue screen of death that haunts many PCs). After touring in the support of the album, the band seems to currently be in the recording process. The only date scheduled is the Brampton Indie Arts Festival on February 15th.
