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 as the 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.
