bortknockols How could you not fall in love with this album after the first few seconds? I don't even know how someone thinks to combine some of the sounds on this project but the way the experimentation and subversion of your expectations are so well executed make it clear that you don't need to know the specifics. Its baffling nature is part of what makes it so special. Favorite track: Yay.

quasiotter ⑴ This album is one piece of a larger puzzle that helped me get into grad school. ⑵ The future nostalgia(c feeling) in 'The Shape Of Things To Come' is, in my heart (there's a tiny record player in my left ventricle), the last song on the album. ⑶ Did you know that 'Too Late To Topologize' is about fingerboarding? Favorite track: The Shape Of Things To Come.

about

Sprouting from the same mind that created the Books - one of the most acclaimed and innovative groups of the past decade - Zammuto marks a deep reinvention of the highly detailed, genre-defying spirit that made seminal albums such asThe Lemon of Pink and The Way Out possible. Given the Books' success as an experimental collage-pop project, founder and namesake Nick Zammuto could have comfortably extended that thread. Instead he has given us a record that is progressive and forward-looking, intense and driven, with hugely varied rhythms and melodies. The whispered, folksy vocals that became a trademark of the Books are for the most part shed in favor of an uncharacteristically confident, soaring delivery, often fueled by a wide array of vocal effects. The result is a man-machine sensitivity that ultimately enhances the songs' emotional intensity. With dense and beautiful string arrangements by Gene Back (the Books) and brain-warping drum performances by Sean Dixon, the radical and varied sound of Zammuto leaps out of speakers with a searing directness. Making music that sounds and feels like no one else is nothing new for Zammuto, but making music that doesn't even sound like his own past is a whole other impressive feat in itself.

Have been listening to The Books for years in so many states of mind - and never knew this album existed. It's a masterpiece and I can only compare it to the maturity of Kyuss' "... And The Circus Leaves Town". toraritte
