Black Books are an Indie Rock five-piece from Austin, Texas. They have just released Aquarena, their sophomore EP and follow up to 2011’s An Introduction To… (which featured The Big Idea, a great track that we included on our Indian Summer Mixtape).
Aquarena blends the folk rock of bands like My Morning Jacket and Band of Horses, the nostalgic dreaminess of Beach House and the psychedelic tendencies of The War on Drugs. It’s a winning combination and one that could bring a great degree of success, especially as the band are readying their debut full-length record in time for the summer (release is scheduled for the 13th of May).
Until then, you can get Aquarena on limited edition 10″ vinyl via Bandcamp.
