The Books The Books Presented by World Music/CRASHarts at Somerville Theatre October 21, 2010 The Books formed in New York City in 1999, when two neighbors collaborated on what they considered to be pop music. In fact, Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong - perhaps by a mix of accident and design - developed a sound that over a decade later still defies categorization. Their music has been called many things: surreal, playful, transcendent, innovative, magical, heartbreaking. The Books will be touring in support of their highly-anticipated new recording, The Way Out.	World Music/CRASHarts	10/21/10	Somerville
