Kyle Burk, co-owner of used bookstore Capitol Hill Books in Washington, D.C., made the most of the bookstore being open for appointment only by recording an album in the store. Burk told DCist that since the bookstore was closed, he just "hauled a bunch of gear over there. The books are pretty good at absorbing loud guitar sounds."
Burk's bookstore recording sessions resulted in a five-track album called Death of the Novel, which he released under the name The Failed Poets. He did all of the vocal and instrumental work on the album, and recorded in the poetry and mystery sections of the bookstore. Burk said he feels like he "kind of made these songs for Book Twitter," with many of the songs being about books and bookselling.
The album can be found on Band camp and Burk's website.
