Lost and Safe (reissue)

VINYL FORMAT. And then there were three. When multi-instrumentalists and sound enthusiasts Paul de Jong and Nick Zammuto first came together, they certainly could not have foreseen that their debut album, Thought For Food, would mark the beginning of a celebrated career; that they would create four genre-defying masterworks across a decade; that they would collect countless Albums of the Decade accolades. Their third album, Lost and Safe, maintained the Books' reputation as a pioneering musical force, even as they flirted with traditional song structures more than ever before. It would go on to be named Album of the Year by the highly influential experimental music magazine, The Wire.

As with the recently reissued Thought For Food and The Lemon of Pink, Lost and Safe is repackaged with dazzling new artwork and expanded to include lyrics for every song. Carefully and thoughtfully remastered from the original mixes by Zammuto at his new studio outside his home in Vermont, Lost and Safe now boasts a increased warmth and clarity that reveals new details with repeated listens.
