The Irrational Library stays “Good Busy”.
“In a world seemingly gone crazy a bit of good old common sense is as necessary as a simple cup of black coffee.” A random quote out of the ether but one that could define the sound, the style and craftmanship of The Irrational Library. Based on a foundation of groove set forth by Mishal Zeera on the bass guitar and Lars van der Weiden on drums; this sets
the locomotive in motion for the guitar and baritone sax of Tom de Haan to build upon. A sonic sound that continues to search in between the lines, to reach where most musician dare not to dwell. And always waiting and watching, ready to jump that train are the poetic and socially zoomed in words of Joshua Baumgarten. With a voice that echoes out while reaching in, Baumgarten speaks to the world at large and the alone within. The Irrational Library is a rock n roll band that does not necessarily recreate the musical wheel but had figured out a way to stand apart and spin that wheel at its own tempo. With The Irrational Library’s fourth studio album “Good Busy” the band continues its own musical quest set up by previous recordings “We…are Doomed”, “Everything at All Times and All Things at Once” and “Now that We Still Can.” Eleven songs recorded fast and furious, with passion and precision at Exalto Studios in Haarlem. Teaming up for this release with niche label Floprecords out of Amsterdam is the bands conscious choice to stay clear of the clogged-up scene of punk, indie and rock that have become the flavor of the month. The Irrational Library is the band that will make you wonder, that combines rhythm with contemplation. Catch The Irrational Library live to feel it in your gut, buy the record and stream it at home, in the car, while caught up on the train, tram or dentist. The Irrational Library is there for you and is waiting patiently to get down with you. Floprecords – for obscure music
