About Books on Tape
Artist Biography
Books on Tape is the long-running solo project of electronic musician Todd Drootin. Drootin began Books on Tape in Los Angeles in 1999 after the breakup of his more collaborative project Subverse. An early cousin of breakcore and more punk-informed takes on electronic music, Drootin dubbed his often caustic Books on Tape compositions "beatpunk" and amassed a huge selection of demos, early experiments, and other recordings for several years. Throw Down Your Laptops, his first widely available album, was released in 2002. Follow-up albums include Books on Tape Sings the Blues (2003), Dinosaur Dinosaur (2005), and Retired Numbers (2012). ~ Fred Thomas
