Title: The Books - Thought For Food
Product review: The Books' first album, THOUGHT FOR FOOD, sees them already blending their cut-up method with folksy strummings, as on "Enjoy Your Worries, You May Never Have Them Again," making the melody more uneasy with vocal snippets. But that's not the only trick up their sleeves: "All Bad Ends All" has a swinging feel, while the slow build of "All Our Base Are Belong To Them" ends in a banjo free-for-all boosted by some hushed vocals. (More vocals punctuate the staccato "Getting The Done Job.") "Thankyoubranch" begins into chaos and ends with darkness, while "Mikey Bass" has plenty of bass plus some additional epiglottal sounds, as opposed to the chopped up strings of "Excess Straussess." Odd fun a-plenty.
