Some albums require real patience to be rightfully appreciated. Lost and Safe, the Books’ third album, is a curious patchwork of sundry instruments (including peculiar sound devices such as a metal filing cabinet and a vintage Hohner clavinet) and left-field, unexpected voice samples carpeting the beats. If one listens closely, strange, hazy images can then be conjured — from pixies prancing about in enchanted forests (“Vogt Dig for Kloppervok”) to the eerie voice of a disciplinarian talking above cello moans and banjo plucks (“It Never Changes to Stop”) — all evoking a distant memory at the wake of a dream.
Will you step up to support New Times this year?
At New Times, we’re small and scrappy — and we make the most of every dollar from our supporters. Right now, we’re $16,750 away from reaching our December 31 goal of $30,000. If you’ve ever learned something new, stayed informed, or felt more connected because of New Times, now’s the time to give back.
