Five photobooks, five albums, five words each

Adam Bartos, Boulevards
Suburban parked cars suddenly reconsidered



The Staple Singers, Great Day
Guitar, harmony, gospel mix, unmixed



David Solomons, Underground
Small frames crammed with wonder



Deerhoof vs. Evil
Beefheart-punk gods slipping slightly?



Joachim Brohm, Color
Shore meets Friedlander circa 1985



The Handsome Family, In the Air
She writes, he sings: Gorgeous



Bernard Plossu, So Long
Ten books marching in column



Dap-Dippin' with Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings
Their first and best effort



Bajac and Parr, Parr by Parr
Chock full of thoughts; Eaggle!



The Fall, Grotesque
Sadly overlooked late-punk gem

You know, I was just dreaming up a blog post about doing photo book reviews with twitter sized text. I do belive I've been beaten to the punch. :D

Didn't mean to monopolize the field. There's plenty of room for other reviews...
