ONE WAY Recommends [Issue #15]
The Books By Mandana Beigi
Lost And Safe (CD Tomlab)

The Books are perhaps one of the most creative and unique musical acts to have come from the indie-east-coast scene within the last few years. They maintain a notorious library of found sounds and samples from the random unmarked audiotapes they purchase at the Salvation Armies and public libraries! And what for? Well, that’s why you’ve got to listen to Lost and Safe- their third full-length release, which is yet another mesmerizing collage of found music, string work, and vocals. “It Never Changes to Stop”, “Venice”, and “An Animated Description of Mr. Maps” beautifully reflect that haunting vibe of found sounds, their textures and rhythms. The Books nail the melodic and emotional side of their exploration by the depth of songs such as “Smells Like Content” and “If Not Now, Whenever”. I wish I could explain the product sound of a set of tuned plastic drain pipes, a cheap metal filing cabinet with subwoofers installed in it, and a vintage Hohner clavinet into words but let’s leave that to be the amazing experience of listening to The Books for the first time (if you haven’t already). Lost and Safe is as sheer and sharp as experimental music gets.
