2010 . Over the course of three albums in nearly a decade's time, the Books have grown to become one of modern music's most genuine innovators. The Way Out continues the Books' tradition of meticulous, existential song craft, infusing the playfully surreal elements of previous albums with a humorous, childlike excitement. Produced and recorded as always in the Books' home studios, the Way Out expands on the charm and intimacy of past endeavors with a deeper emotional resonance and an ever-impressive marriage of seemingly disparate sound worlds. Album Tracks 1. Group Autogenics I 2. Idkt 3. I Didn't Know That 4. A Cold Freezin' Night 5. Beautiful People 6. I Am Who I Am 7. Chain of Missing Links 8. All You Need Is a Wall 9. Thirty Incoming 10. A Wonderful Phrase By Gandhi 11. We Bought the Flood 12. The Story of Hip Hop 13. Free Translator 14. Group Autogenics II

Following up their hugely acclaimed debut, THOUGHT FOR FOOD, THE LEMON OF PINK was the album that cemented the Books as a pioneering musical force.

As with the recently reissued THOUGHT FOR FOOD, THE LEMON OF PINK is repackaged with dazzling new artwork and expanded to include lyrics for every song for the first time ever. Album Tracks 1. The Lemon of Pink I 2. The Lemon of Pink II 3. Tokyo 4. Bonanza 5. S Is for Evrysing 6. Explanation Mark 7. There Is No There 8. Take Time 9. Don't Even Sing About It 10.
