American-Dutch experimental-music duo

Claude says:The Books built something rare in folktronica—choppy, found-sound collages that feel handmade and human despite all the electronics—and you found them early, diving deep into The Lemon of Pink in late 2014 and letting that album anchor a brief but focused stretch of listening. They're the kind of duo that rewards that kind of intensity: intricate enough to sustain repeated plays, weird enough to feel like a private discovery.
