Review

CMJ (No. 920, p.3) - "Combining the Books' more laidback acoustic leanings with Prefuse 73's epileptic hip-hop breaks, the record finds a happy medium between the former's delicateness and the latter's relentless drive."

Title Note

Additional personnel: Claudia Maria Deheza.

READS THE BOOKS is a collaboration made in indie-electronica heaven. On it, Scott Herren, a.k.a. Prefuse 73, one of the finest producers in the electronica game, interprets the work of experimental folk-tronica duo the Books. Herren's own superb records (VOCAL STUDIES + UPROCK NARRATIVES, ONE WORD EXTINGUISHER) recombine the elements of hip-hop with a sophisticated composer's ear for texture, pattern, and balance, while the Books have made utterly absorbing, guitar, strings, and sample-driven avant-instrumentals on albums such as THOUGHT FOR FOOD and THE LEMON OF PINK.

On paper, then, it might seem like the music on READS THE BOOKS is in danger of deconstructing itself right out of existence. Yet while Herren's treatments (presented in a series of eight "pages") are certainly experimental, they preserve the organic warmth of the Books' originals, while adding to them the lush atmospherics and groove-intensive colors that is the Prefuse trademark. The results intrigue and absorb, and are a must-listen for fans of either artist.
