Trying to pin down what Manchester-based trio Books are all about is no easy task. With layers of literary-based smoke and mirrors shrouding the band’s inner workings, all we really have to go on is a series of truly electric performances across Manchester in the past few months and the following statement: “You are the stringless puppets of my own screen and you are performing very well indeed. Play on! Play on! Touchstones, play on”. Well, quite. Arcade Fire severity, Joy Division atmospherics and dripping with brain cells, Books will be bringing the ‘culture’ to Eurocultured on Sunday and to miss it would be to miss a masterclass in vast, spine-tingling, post-rock claustrophobia. File under H for Hot Wordy Prospect (using the standard Dewey decimal system, naturally). TAGS: Books, Eurocultured Words by: Harry Garne
