    The debut album from the Nick Zammuto -renowned from The Books - is a decent connection of electronic themes with indie rock background, where sometimes lead vocals parts prevail or curiously arranged add-ons. You should pay attention to the songs "Groan Man, Do not Cry" or "Zebra Butt".

    This is a very underrated album.its original,bizarre in a good way and at times damn catchy.much like the Books i guess.but a more consistent album than most of their offerings,bar the great Thought For Food.a harmonious collage of experimental,electronic and indie music.9!

    Zammuto is a promising step beyond The Books' found-sound charm toward a new organic life. [Jun 2012, p.157]

    While nothing quite meets the precedent set by the first track, the album is a bracing adventure in texture.
