Tunes On Rotation :: the Books

The Books are a psychedelic pop duo from New York City who have released three spectacular albums (Thought for Food, The Lemon of Pink and Lost and Safe) since forming in 2000.

They are set to release a new album in July 2010 called The Way Out through Temporary Residence, which has been in the works since 2008 and their first in 5 years due to marriage and babies! The two have just released "Beautiful People", which is the first track from the album and Zammuto describes it as being, "a three part christian harmony mixed with a sort of euro-disco-trash beat, an orchestra’s worth of sampled brass and lyrics about the twelfth root of two (my favorite irrational number), trigonometry and tangrams".

The track is great and we cannot wait for the new album that has been loooong overdue.
