The Books

I got their album The Lemon Of Pink today.

Wow , this has got to be one of the oddest things I have ever heard. Acoustic based songs with samples ,banjos , weird noses and all sorts of things thrown in.

They sound like Simon & Garfunkel as remixed by DJ Shadow.

Very very odd , but I like it.

I've only heard one single from this one..don't mind it...though I tend to drift off..wouldn't mind listening to some more though

I have an album (can't think of name - i think it's the recent one, but does have a green cover) and quite like it... a bit too quirky to recommend to everyone but I like it!

they're quirkiness is a quirkiness that is an acquired taste me thinks. yuh huh

How many albums do they have?

I have a track 'Enjoy your worries, you may never have them again' on a Rough Trade compilation and really like their style, very chilled out. Was that just one track, or does the whole album have a relaxing feel?

I`d say most of the tracks are pretty mellow , quite a few have added electronica , others are just plain odd.

They have 3 albums out , Thought for Food ,The Lemon of Pink and Lost and Safe.

I can upload you the one I have if you want it

I've got thought for food, and it's definitely worth picking up. The intro to Motherless Bastard makes me laugh everytime I hear it

I wish they did more dates with Clogs (only the best band on the planet).
