About The Books

Artist Biography

The Books' story began in 2000, when Nick Zammuto and Paul de Jong met through a friend in New York City. Sharing similar interests but different backgrounds in acoustic music and found sound, Zammuto and de Jong experimented and plunked away with sound. Eventually, with some urging by Tom Steinle of Tomlab Records, they created what would become their debut record, Thought for Food, in 2002. Within a year, the Books relocated to Hot Springs, North Carolina, and recorded and released The Lemon of Pink. Lost and Safe, their third album for Tomlab, arrived in 2005, followed by Way Out, which was released by new label Temporary Residence in July of 2010. ~ David Serra
