Restiform Bodies have just released their first album in seven years, 'TV Loves You Back'. Equal parts hip-hop, pop, and new wave, the new album carries a distinctly dark feel to it, with heavy, ghettotech-style bass and lyrics spit over the mic at an aggressive pace. The album is additive- just looking at my last.fm page i've listened to it an embarrassing amount in a short time.

The Books story began in 2000, when Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong met through a friend in New York City. Sharing similar interests but different backgrounds in acoustic music and found sound, Zammuto and de Jong experimented and plunked away with sound.
Their music is a mix of aleatoric, electronica, folk, and acoustic music (de Jong is a cellist and Zammuto plays acoustic guitar and electric bass), incorporating samples of sounds, speech and music.They have released three albums Thought for Food (2002),The Lemon of Pink and Lost and Safe (2005) all on Tomlab.
Their live shows consisted primarily of live acoustic performance (cello, guitar and vocals), played with prerecorded electronics and synchronized video

The Books - The Classy Penguin (live)


The Books - An Owl With Knees (live)
