It’s been nearly 5 years since their last record, but are back with “Beautiful People”.

The Books have been consistently original and perpetuate a bittersweet tinge of humanity in what otherwise would be describe as frigid, robotic laptop music (read: Beautiful People’s many math and science references).

While waiting for the new release by The Books, you could also listen to this brand new release on esc.rec. ( http://www.escrec.com/category/escrec27 ) right now, which a.o. features a beautiful track by Paul de Jong (half of The Books).
