THE BOOKS-THOUGHT FOR FOOD-2002

The complexity of the songs with all their layers and textures keep your brain working. And the duo gets pretty bizarre with their multitudinous samples, which is always a plus. I couldn't help but get into the next couple of following albums The Lemon of Pink and Lost and Safe.
From Wikipedia:
Zammuto and de Jong first met in New York City in 1999 as they shared the same apartment building.De Jong invited Zammuto to dinner at his apartment, where he played him some of his collection of audio and video samples, including a Shooby Taylor record.Zammuto said of their meeting that "we both kind of knew at that moment that we listened (to music) in interesting ways and had similar approaches to music."Soon after, they began playing what they considered to be pop music, in comparison to their own works, under the name The Books. In 2000, The Books started work on what would become their début album Thought for Food. Zammuto and de Jong moved locations constantly during this time, recording in New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and finally in the basement of a hostel in North Carolina where Zammuto worked for a while after hiking the Appalachian Trail.

Iron and Wine-Kiss Each Other Clean-2011
For some strange reason I was under the impression that Samuel Beam was no longer making music and that he had reverted back to making movies or being a professor or working on his beard. Not so! This is his latest album and I'm trying to squeeze in a listen before work while I post this. You can hear the classic whispery folk stuff but over that are arrangements and song structure that you don't hear quite as often in other pieces of Beam's work. I might go so far as to say that it reminds me of Fleetwood Mac a little. I already regret saying that. Give it a fucking listen, aight?Saturday, January 15, 2011
Twin Shadow - Forget - 2010

A likely candidate for Sasquatch this year. A electro-melodramatic breakdown of the things you wish you didn't tell your therapist about.
Similar to:
• Caribou
• LCD Soundsystem
• Washed Out

Ugly Casanova / Sharpen Your Teeth / 2002
"From the rustic pop of "Barnacles" to the wispy shades of "Hotcha Girls" and the understated, anthem "So Long to the Holidays" Sharpen Your Teeth is an album with depth and warmth. When the autumn winds pick up speed and the waves of Lake Michigan freeze in place, I'll be home listening to this album and howling She Shaw She Shaw until the sun rises over a frozen city and I have to go back to work. And this project turned out to be a particularly fruitful collaboration with a roomful of songwriters holed up in the Pacific Northwest with a box of demos and creative energy. They set about working on the album sitting around a kitchen table." -Derek Phillips
