Michael Zapruder's Rain of Frogs, Zapruder's newest vehicle, is a collection of Bay Area musicians including Nate Query from the Decemberists, Jonathan Segal from Camper Van Beethoven, Scott Pinkmountain from P.A.F., Scott Solter, and Jon Bernson from Ray's Vast Basement. The music most closely resembles orchestral folk or chamber pop, with dramatic and creative string and horn arrangements. Even so, the focus remains on Zapruder's consistently luminous songwriting, which often centers on vignettes and scenarios of peculiar and poignant drama.

In the Fall of 2006, Zapruder will be reviving the experimental streak in his writing, spearheading a songwriting project in collaboration with the nearly one hundred poets on Wave Books' Poetry Bus. The results of this project will be released on a series of 7" singles in 2007.
