Formed in New York City in 2000, *The Books* is a musical duo consisting of Zammuto and De Jong. Living as neighbors in Inwood, a neighborhood in northern Manhattan, the pair began creating music that combines elements of folk and acoustic with electronic undertones. With their home computers, they handle all aspects of production and mastering for the group.

*The Books* disbanded in January 2012 but left behind a unique sound that has resonated with fans. Their music is characterized by its blend of different genres and innovative approach to composition.

If you enjoy the experimental sounds of artists like *Animal Collective*, *Akron/Family*, or *Dan Deacon*, then you will likely appreciate the distinctive style of *The Books*. Their music pushes boundaries and offers listeners an immersive experience unlike any other.

deluxe double album with dozens of full colour stickers and a exquisite vinyl etching. with new homes both personally and professionally founders nick zammuto and paul de jong have both settled in the mountains north of new york city to start families, and the way out marks their first release for temporary residence limited this is indeed a new beginning. over the course of three albums in nearly a decades time, the books have grown to become one of modern musics most genuine innovators. creatively complex and truly unclassifiable, the way out continues the books tradition of meticulous, existential songcraft, infusing the playfully surreal elements of previous albums with a humorous, childlike excitement. produced and recorded as always in the books home studios, the way out expands on the charm and intimacy of past endeavors with a deeper emotional resonance and an ever-impressive marriage of seemingly disparate sound worlds. with the way out, the books have mastered the precarious balance of beauty, absurdity and accessibility.
