Zammuto- "The Shape of Things to Come"

Zammuto drops a new video in support of its (uh, his?) latest album on Temporary Residence Limited. Check our review for the album here.

Zammuto- Idiom Wind EP

On his latest EP, the Books member Nick Zammuto deals in the same experimental sounds that made his main band's previous album so great. I will say the singer-songwriter element of the three songs on this release is more prevalent, though.

Stream Zammuto's New Single

Just a few days ago, I was hyping the new single Zammuto is set to drop next month in the UK. Well, now you can stream the whole thing via SoundCloud. Nice!

Zammuto- "Idiom Wind"

Nick Zammuto, one half of the experimental music duo the Books, is releasing some solo material this December via a new single on Make Mine.

The Books' late album, which was one of my favorite albums of 2010, was a surprising turn for the duo considering the increased use in vocals--not sampled, of course--in the music. Zammuto seems to be heading further down that road with his solo material.

With "Idiom Wind," I can't say much other than this: I find this song to be really beautiful. The swelling throbs of strings, dry drums, and the earnest vocals just come together into something warm, pretty, and well-arranged. I'm excited to hear what else Zammuto's got coming down the pipe now!

This project also got some tour dates line up for 2012. Check 'em:
