This Is Lorelei – the solo project of Nate Amos – releases “Oh No Now My,” the latest from his recently announced anticipated new album, The Singer in My Band, out September 11th via Matador Records. The glitchy vocal harmonies on “Oh No Now My” feel beamed in from some distant future, fleetingly captured on decaying equipment for the album’s most anthemic song. The track arrives with a haunting stop-motion animation video by Julia Fernandez.
Of the song, Amos says “‘Oh No Now My’ is a song that ate itself – there were 3 versions of it before it landed here, where it has nothing in common with the original. I think it’s good but it’s hard to sing. I hope you like it.”
The last few years have been transformative for Nate Amos. Between delivering breakout records both as a solo artist — under his This Is Lorelei moniker — and with his band Water From Your Eyes, sold out shows across multiple continents, to seeing some of today’s most influential artists cover his songs, the ascending songwriter has found his stride. The Singer in My Band takes the building blocks of the Great American Songbook and twists those elemental pieces into new shapes, at once both strangely familiar and endearingly offbeat in Amos’ signature style.
