DOWNLOAD: The Books - Beautiful People
.jpg)
The first three seconds of "Beautiful People" kind of sounds like what Sigur Ros might sound like if they weren't so intent on filling every three seconds they get with epically overblown string sweeps and new Icelandic fairy stories. Eventually The Books unravel it into something leaner and more cute, a flotilla of tiny guitar chimes met with necessary percussion and playful melodic trawls. The New York City duo's fourth album, The Way Out, arrives on July 20th through Temporary Residence Records.
