DESCRIPTION:
from the album Pink Thunder, video directed by Jesse Yules.

Pink Thunder is a collaboration between Michael Zapruder and 23 poets, three engineers, and a few dozen musicians, released on October 16 on http://www.thekorarecords.com Zapruder was inspired by the poets and their art when he met them on the Poetry Bus, a rock-style tour of performing poets, organized by Wave Books, which is co-run by Michael's brother, poet Matthew Zapruder.

The result is a collection of free-verse indie pop poetry featuring Zapruder's adept guitar work, minimalist rhythms and subtly colorful hooks along with lyrics inspired the poets. The first single off the album, "Florida", was inspired by a poem by Travis Nichols.
