Three long years ago, we featured California’s Zach Zeller & The Crooked Timbers with some early tracks from the still-budding band. We later premiered the debut self-titled album from frontman Zach Zeller’s other band, Belda Beast. Now, we’re thrilled to have the exclusive first stream of Zeller’s solo project turned full band’s self-titled debut as well. Zach Zeller & The Crooked Timbers will be officially released on August 1 through Around Town Collective.

In regards to the album, Zeller tells us, “We recorded the album at Origami Recording Lounge in Chico, CA (owned and operated by our keys player, Scott Barwick). This is the first recording I’ve ever done in a professional studio and the first solo project recording using the full band. There are multiple themes within the songs including loss (‘The Letter’), love (‘Limbs in a Fight’), greed (‘Oh My Son’) and observation (‘Wonder Why’).”

You can stream the full 8-track release below, and if you happen to be in the Northern California area, the band will be playing a record release show at The Temple in Redding tomorrow, July 25. Doors open at 8pm and the show starts at 8:30. More details can be found on the band’s Facebook.
