It would seem that ex-The Books member Nick Zammuto has a second album--huh?--on the way. Not only does this video note that, but the single above is essentially all the proof you need.
"Need Some Sun" is one of Zammuto's smoothest tracks yet, not really showcasing a lot of the strange, over-the-top eccentricities that were featured on his full-length debut. What seems most consistent about this track are Zammuto's esoteric and personal lyrics, which are backed up with tense but quiet percussion and bass. The bassline actually reminds me a bit of something I'd hear Tool toy with back in the 90s--yes, of course I mean that in a good way!
