THE BOOKS REMASTERED, REPACKAGED REISSUES

Masterminds of found sound, the Books, have announced the reissue of their entire full length catalog. Re-mastered from the original mixes by Nick Zammuto of the Books, CD and LP version will be released on Temporary Residence Ltd. The albums will be released in chronological order starting with Thought for Food on January 25, continuing with The Lemon of Pink on February 22, and finishing with Lost and Safe on March 22. Each album will be packaged in completely new artwork and will include a book of lyrics for the first time.

The band has taken the last two months to rigorously tour North America in support of their latest album, The Way Out, filling auditoriums with meditative instrumentation and video installations that are both overwhelmingly beautiful and downright eerie.The sometimes bizarre and intense arrangements are complimented by videos of meticulously edited found footage often relating directly to the musical compositions.  The Books have developed a clever and hypnotic live show that has captured the attention and imagination of increasingly large and broad audience, making these reissues ideal for new and old fans alike. Most recently selling out Carnegie Hall’s renowned Zankel Hall in New York City, the band conclude their North American tour this week with dates on the west coast, supported by The Black Heart Procession. After Christmas, the Books will return to the stage with their largest Australian tour yet.
