|
| Label Description: |
| Over the course of three albums in nearly a decade's time, the Books have grown to become one of modern music's most genuine innovators. The Way Out continues the Books' tradition of meticulous, existential songcraft, infusing the playfully surreal elements of previous albums with a humorous, childlike excitement. Produced and recorded as always in the Books' home studios, The Way Out expands on the charm and intimacy of past endeavors with a deeper emotional resonance and an ever-impressive marriage of seemingly disparate sound worlds. |

| MUZE review: |
|
Paste (magazine) - "[T]he duo strikes an ideal balance between found-sound collage and original vocalizations....The Books have cobbled together a soundscape of not only the English language, but the entire universe."
Pitchfork (Website) - "The Books have a terrific sense of humor -- and it makes THE WAY OUT, an album built on eccentric vocal samples, a good-natured discovery instead of a cheap piece of mockery." |
