The Books Sign To Temporary Residence, Announce New Album

The Books sign to a new label, announce new album for July

It's been over five years since the Books released new material but luckily the duo is planning on breaking their streak and releasing a new album this July on their new home Temporary Residence Limited.  The band announced their move to the label yesterday along with news of their new album.  The band has spent the last five years heavily touring and working and are ready to begin their follow-up to their critically acclaimed release Lost and Safe.  The Books pratically escape all genres and carve out their own space in the music world.  The band reguarly combines music and video together during their live performances, creating something like a live music video.  It's instrumental but strongly conveys emotion.  It's minimalistic with endless depth.  It features guitar, bass, cello and vocals over sharply edited video.  It's hard to pinpoint what and who the Books are.  If you've never heard or seen the Books, check out their video for "Take Time" below from their DVD Play All.
