Experimental trio Talking Book return with a 14-song atmospheric collection called Talking Book II on April 14, 2020. Formed in San Francisco, the group features Bill Gould (Faith No More), Jared Blum (Gigante Sound), and Dominic Cramp (Borful Tang, Lord Tang). The group's debut released in 2011.
“We had originally thought this would be an easy follow-up to our debut album," Gould says. “But in fact, this was a journey that took years. It was a wild ride, but in my opinion was totally worth the effort, it enabled us to really dig deep, and get this the way we wanted it. I feel like we have created a soundtrack to a film that can only be seen through listening.”
