GoodBooks are onto something great. They dropped on the scene in 2005 with a self-released EP, ‘Valves & Robots’ which caught the attention of the powers that be over at Transgressive Records who pressed up their first official single, ‘Walk With Me’.
But that was then and this is now, so they’re on to bigger and better things. Their debut full length album, ‘Control’ is due out on July 30th on major label, Columbia (pre-order it on Amazon).
The album is building hype! The video you see above for, ‘Passchendaele’ is their second single and video from the new album (although, the song itself is old, appearing first on their ‘Valves & Robots’ EP. But now given new live in the majors!).
You can see the video for the first single, ‘The Illness’ on YouTube. There’s also videos for their most popular, ‘Leni’ (See it on YouTube) and their earlier single ‘Walk with Me’. Interestingly, all of these tracks will appear on the debut album, ‘Control’!

Here’s a couple fantastic dancey remixes that will not be on the debut record. One by Kissy Sell Out and another by recently mentioned favorites, The Teenagers, and yet another great one by Eliot James (the ‘Caucasian Dub Disco Mix’) that hasn’t been getting enough love, and probably should:
MP3: GoodBooks - Leni (Kissy Sell Out Remix)

Of course, there is the other MT favorite, Crystal Castles remix of ‘Leni’ that you can get in our GoodBooks archive.
