Zammuto celebrates the restless, adventurous spirit of one of the indie scene’s most experimental minds and brilliant songsmiths: artful Vermont-based avant-pop artist Nick Zammuto. Since dissolving The Books, Nick has expanded his sonic ambitions with this four-piece band, as ably demonstrated on their first release, also called Zammuto. Clearly creatively refreshed and retooled, he is pulling varied rhythms and stronger melodies to the forefront with this band. He’s also showcasing a confident vocal style, replete with an array of electronic effects, that’s a quantum leap from the understated, near-whispered vocals he employed in The Books.
