The Books Set to Premiere New Songs on Fall Tour

After a brief hiatus, The Books will premiere new material on their upcoming tour beginning November 19. Looking to cash in on their 125th placing in Pitchfork’s decade-end album list, Paul de Jong and Nick Zammuto are hoping to make their audiences “verrry sleepy.”

The new record will explore new age themes and features samples from self-help and hypnotherapy cassettes. It is set to be released in 2010, and there’s no better way of establishing your 2010-19 credentials by getting in before every other motherfucker. Just look at Kid A.
