"They make melancholy intensity seem as natural as breathing"- The Guardian
“the band have a directness, an ability to cut to the heart of the matter which gets us rather excited” – Clash
Kent five-piece Story Books are thrilled to announce the release of their sophomore EP ‘From Post To Post’, due out on 17th March through Communion. The EP was self-produced, then put into the ever-capable hands of Tony Doogan (Belle & Sebastian, Mogwai), who successfully brings the intensity of the band’s lauded live show to each of the recordings.
They are giving fans a taster of the new material, through a special seasonal stream of the stunning ‘White Maid’, which features in the forthcoming release. Click here to listen to ‘White Maid’ now.
2013 was particularly eventful for Story Books, who released their debut EP ‘Too Much A Hunter’ to widespread acclaim. Receiving Radio 1 support from Zane Lowe, Huw Stephens, Phil & Alice and Jen & Ally, the band were also playlisted at XFM, with whom they recorded the first ever XFM & Communion backed live session EP ‘New Faces’.
Having shared the stage with The Rolling Stones, whom they were on the bill supporting WITH in Hyde Park; the band subsequently played an impressive live circuit this past year, which included SXSW, T In The Park, Bestival, The Great Escape, Dot-to-Dot, Bushstock, Tramlines, and tours with Public Service Broadcasting, King Charles and Fossil Collective.
