Groundbreaking, experimental "folktronica" duo The Books are due to begin their first UK tour at the end of January. Their last album "Lost & Safe!" (released on the ever-reliable Tomlab label) was a masterclass in complex sample splicing and multi-textured folk tinged electronica. It'll be interesting to see how they pull it off live.
