Tomlab-signed electronic-acoustic duo the Books will hit the road this month to try out new material. It's been four years since the sound collagists released Lost And Safe, their last proper LP, and there are finally whispers of a new album in the works. After four years, the results should be grand, and those that attend one of the Books' 11 upcoming shows will hopefully get a sneak preview. Nick Zammuto and Paul De Jong will kick things off in Waltham, Massachusetts, on November 19, and wrap the tour up on December 1 in Minneapolis.
