Composer: Books on Tape

Some years back, a certain British vegetarian pop superstar dourly urged us to “Hang the blessed DJ!” Poor dear, he didn’t think that the music they played in the discos and on the radio had any relevance to his (too sheltered) life.

That may still be, but luckily for us, indie-electronica up-and-comers Books on Tape—the brainchild of Todd Books (aka Todd Drootin) of Los Angeles—has heaps of relevance to our frenetic modern lives. And given its plenitude of head-bobbing, homemade beats you’ll likely to be hearing it everywhere from Manchester to Manitoba and everywhere beyond, courtesy of Books on Tape’s full-length beatpunk debut, Throw Down Your Laptops, on Deathbomb Arc. With a call-to-arms title like that gracing such a propulsive collection of tracks, there’s just no way you won’t!

For Throw Down Your Laptops, Books on Tape recorded each track in a single take to 24-track tape, capturing the immediacy and energy of a live show with the pristine sound of a studio recording. Nothing was edited in the computer. What you hear is what they did. Better listen up!

Featuring Todd Drootin, Kerri Kirchheimer (Dewey Decimator), Bob Reich (Slowcoach), Brian Miller & Grace Lee (Rose For Bohdan), Stefanie Drootin (Bright Eyes), Todd Berry and Chaki. Recorded and mixed by John Lyons.
