The Books - Thought For Food

Thought For Food by The Books

Virtual Indie-Rock?
Tom & Jerry haunted by the ghosts of postrock?
Post-laptop glitch and Clicks&Cuts?
An attempt to post-everything or simply another candidate for the consense album 2002?

"Thought For Food" explores the limits of instrumental trickery on top of mindful sample database management. Controversial, equivocal and political, "The Books" are building bridges and leaving geographical obstructions in music behind. They are obsessed with their respective autobiography of sound and create a work rich in reference from TV Shows to vintage newscast and redneck evangelists to hippiegurus. The result is energetic, idealistic, feet whipping, unsettling and disturbing at times...but always guarding a delicate instrumental flow against the rigidness of digital sterility.
