released January 11, 2011

Like the music industry before it, the publishing sector has just begun its' struggles towards the digital realm and in this process, slowly stripping the book of its physical form. The words and their meaning are not lost in this transition but something else important is shed: the value of form and one's connection with it. The weight of a book on one's hand. The tactile feeling of a matte finished or leather cover. The soft, rough sound of pages rubbing against one another.

The "Book Report Series" was conceived as way of involving the shifting state of literature with a community that would not only help to highlight the significance of a book's physical form but also allow one to glean new, immediate connections between differing art forms.

A beautiful way to end a strange year. Another quiet triumph for The Humble Bee and Motion Ward. Perfect to walk out and listen to in the worse of weather or to welcome the pending return of the sun wherever you live. AB
