The Books are an American experimental duo founded in New York City in 1999, consisting of guitarist and vocalist Nick Zammuto and cellist Paul de Jong. Their music is a mix of electronica, folk, and acoustic music, incorporating samples of sounds, speech and music. They have released three critically-acclaimed albums, all on the German label Tomlab. They are currently residing in North Adams, Massachusetts, recording an upcoming studio album. Zammuto and de Jong first met in New York City in 1999 as they shared the same apartment building. de Jong invited Zammuto to dinner at his apartment, where he played him some of his collection of audio and video samples, including a Shooby Taylor record. Zammuto said of their meeting that "we both kind of knew at that moment that we listened (to music) in interesting ways and had similar approaches to music." Soonafter, they began playing what they considered to be pop music, in comparison to their own works, under the name The Books.
