Nick Zaino is a musician, journalist, podcaster, and author of short horror fiction. His latest album, Habitual Salvation, is a solo acoustic project, recorded in one seven-and-a-half hour session, just guitar and voice. The songs cover a range from earnest devotion (“Pour Me A River”) to silliness (“Better When You’re Strange”) to upbeat numbers about death (“Who Wants To Die Happy?”). His new EP, Hardcover Fiction, is taken from the same sessions, and is due out later in 2020.
