If you haven’t heard of The Books, the electro-folk duo from Manhattan, here’s a primer for virgin ears: The Cello Song featuring Jose Gonzales. I love that song so much I had to look up a word just to describe it: unctuous. It can mean something that’s excessively smooth or…buttery. I’m torn as which to apply.
Everything they do sounds like it belongs at the sorta-kinda inspirational/accepting/life changing/fuck it I’m gonna do it! climax of an Indie movie. Not like, Michael Cera Indie movie, but maybe The Squid and The Whale. Or something. Either way, I’m pumped that they’re making a stop in Ithaca during their six show mini tour of the East coast. The show is going to be held at the Cornell Cinema and it’s going to look like this. I got my ticket already. Get yours here. You can bet there will be A&V coverage of the event. Look for the morning after post, March 31st.
