Aphex Twin, Bjork, J Dilla & Sigur Ros Selected For New Series Of 33 1/3 Books

Earlier this year we announced Bloomsbury Academic's open call for writers, in the hunt for more albums for their next batch of album-centric music books.

News has now emerged of Bloomsbury releasing another 18 books in the series, which already stands at 86 editions, through the year of 2013-2014. A Spin mag report reveled the new volumes are decidedly contemporary. Previously, only Radiohead's seminal 2000 release Kid A was "of the new millenium."
