It is taking longer than expected to fetch the next song to play.
The music should be playing soon.

The Books' story began in 2000, when Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong met through a friend in New York City. Sharing similar interests but different backgrounds in acoustic music and found sound, Zammuto and de Jong experimented and plunked away with a mix of melody, electronics, and ethereal atmospherics. Eventually, with some urging by Tom Steinle of Tomlab Records, they created what would become their debut record, Thought for Food, in 2002. Within a year, the Books relocated to Hot Springs, NC, and recorded and released The Lemon of Pink. With a lot of favorable word of mouth and critical buzz from the first two records, the Books relocated again in the winter of 2004 and recorded in an old Victorian home in North Adams, MA. These sessions culminated with the release of Lost and Safe in April of 2005, their third album for Tomlab. The band basically disappeared in the years that followed, until launching a short tour in the autumn of 2009. Their fourth album, Way Out, was released by new label Temporary Residence in July 2010. ~ David Serra, Rovi
Yo - Everyone should really consider buying the Red Hot compilation "Dark Was The Night." It features a number of really fantastic artists, but in particular, The Books and Jose Gonzalez cover "Cello Song" written originally by Nick Drake. With the combination of Nick Drake's immaculate songwriting and the dynamic instrumentation of the Books, this song is out of this world.

Saw them in concert tonight- good show- though videos might be distracting
You should catch a live show but if you can't, buy the DVD "Playall". (it's on their website to order, but youtube has some clips as well) It's the visual content played at shows and it is amazing. Stock-footage that they've edited to sync up with the sounds in a way that will give you chills, smiles, and sometimes tears all at once. Enjoy!
