    The Books

    Been bumping The Books' The Way Out on my morning commute for the past week or so and every day I seem to discover something new; it's a deeply layered found sound/ambient journey very reminiscent of a more mellow Go! Team (at least to my ears).

    Given that I spent the entire winter and much of spring steeped in snow/skiing, I was wholly unaware that The Books broke up.

    I was also wholly unaware that co-founder Nick Zammuto unveiled a new sonic outfit, simply entitled Zammuto, and that they dropped their self-titled full-length debut in April.

    You can stream it here: http://soundcloud.com/zammuto/

    Saw them a few years back during Boulder's Communikey festival. Wild show, to say the least.
