The Book of Law is perhaps among Knoxville's best at creating lush soundscapes. While many a local references Hum as an influence, few produce the atmospheric, shoegazing quality so well. The style might come as a surprise to fans of Adoration and Red Cloud. As the members of The Book of Law point out, their new progression is less a product of choosing a direction so much as deciding what not to be. - Knoxville News Sentinel
Guitarists Matt Ross and Will Christ, and drummer Matt McAllister of Adoration and singer David Davis of the Red Cloud team up for the new guitar-pop outfit, which will make its debut opening for VAST and Vertigo at the Valarium on Thursday, Feb. 21, at 7 p.m. - Metro Pulse

November 14th, we released our first EP that has had a modest amount of radio airtime on southeastern college radio stations. It was recorded by Alex Newport in Brooklyn's Greenpoint area. We are currently writing another EP.

Bio
Despite a laid-back approach, the group was recently discovered by renowned recorder Alex Newport of Metropolitan Sound in Brooklyn, N.Y. Newport's credentials include work with The Mars Volta, Death Cab for Cutie, The Melvins and Brazil, to name a few. The Book of Law looks to have their recordings with Newport made available by early fall.
"I would consider working and being 'discovered' by Alex a major accomplishment," says Davis. "We're not trying to sell our music to people, necessarily, but we're not going for the 'anti-dollar' either. We're not good salesmen; we're musicians, so having anyone from the industry find us interesting is a huge blessing to us. I can't think of any other producer who would be better suited to record us. We head up there in July, and I've been waiting a long time to go to New York."
