The Books

     Here's another band I've been really interested in since my sound art project. The Books are a folktronica duo from New York. They tend to use a wide variety of samples but mostly a lot of spoken word stuff. What I enjoy most about them is that their songs usually have a narrative and I get the feeling I'm exploring a visual space when I listen to them.

     I also think of them as being a group whose music weaves in and out sound art and music. They occupy a sort of grey area that challenges both genres.
