After five years of silence, the Books have returned with their forth LP The Way Out, and this time they’re ready to get all transcendental on your ass. “Welcome to a new beginning,” greets a steady, calming voice on “Group Autogenics I,” kicking off the album with a guided meditation complete with hypothetical physical states and commands to delve “deeper and deeper.” It’s a bit heavy handed, but trying to open your mind is a good way this record, since, unless you constantly listen to the Avalanches or the Brian Eno and David Byrne’s landmark My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, a Book’s album is different than most music.
