Good Books
The Illness Columbia Records

Article written by Elisabetta P - May 23, 2007

From the pages of Good Books’ website, we learn that ‘melody can be a dangerous thing’. Damn right. If imaginative pop is at the basis of your music ethos and you happen to catch a bit of spotlight within a particularly thriving music scene, then the race to escape new coined labels is on. But Good Books can pull the tricks. For their latest single ‘The Illness’, Good Books mix urgent electro beats, tight guitars and melodic vocals – ‘nu rave’ meets Keane, in a disorientating yet furiously engaging listening.
