The Singer In My Band

This Is Lorelei — 2026

“Nate Amos takes a real step forward on The Singer In My Band, where warm Americana, bluegrass, and bedroom pop start speaking the same strange language.”

Nate Amos keeps two bands running at once, and where Water From Your Eyes chases a more art rock direction, The Singer In My Band pulls hard the other way toward warm, unhurried Americana. It is his first real road record, sketched out while staring through a van window between tour stops, and that origin seeps into the way these songs unfold. Amos plays nearly everything himself, but some of the best touches are the ones he passed to family: his father Bob’s banjo running across the title track, with harmonies from his sister and partner thickening the choruses. The real magic is in the production. It borrows the warm, organic flow of a Gordon Lightfoot record, mixes it with the intimacy of an indie bedroom recording, then adds a bluegrass logic filtered through a broken future. There is less of the genre hopping that made Box for Buddy, Box for Star (2024) such a trip, but the tighter focus suits him. This is Amos taking a real step forward, and The Singer In My Band feels like a firm new start for This Is Lorelei.
