Virtual Indie-Rock? Tom & Jerry haunted by the ghosts of post-rock? Post-laptop glitch and Clicks & Cuts? An attempt to outdo everything or simply another candidate for the nonsense album of 2002? "Thought for Food" explores the limits of instrumental trickery on top of careful sample-database management. They are obsessed with their respective autobiography of sound and create a work rich in reference to TV, vintage newscasts, redneck evangelists, and hippie gurus. The result is energetic, idealistic, feet whipping, unsettling, and disturbing at times...but always guards a delicate instrumental flow against digital sterility.

User Reviews

   Eric Perkins - Waltham, MA, USA
I tend to like albums with catchy songs to which I can sing along. Albums with songs that I can throw on a mix CD for myself or friends. This is not one of those albums, by a long shot. Any of these songs mixed in with your other music is going to sound pretty wonky. But I still like The Books and I really like this album. I like to listen to it through my headphones, in a dark room, with my eyes closed. Listening to the album is cathartic as each song elicits a new emotion or blend of emotions. Good stuff, as long as you don't HAVE to be able to dance to your music.
