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 todays most influential artists cover his songs, the ascending songwriter has found his stride. 2024s Box for Buddy, Box for Star was Amos first attempt at an intentionally written full-length solo album, tackling newfound sobriety through a roving tongue-in-cheek take on musical personas, all strained through Amos genre-agnostic lens. It was a critical and word-of-mouth success, spawning a deluxe version with covers and collaborations including MJ Lenderman, Hayley Williams, Jeff Tweedy, Cameron Winter and many more. For many years, Amos This Is Lorelei project was known only to a close knit group of creatives in Chicago, where he relocated in his early 20s and produced hundreds of albums and EPs, tracing the outlines for both of his prolific projects before relocating to New York. In the time since, hes flourished as a wildly creative polymath who is equally adept at slinging heart worn hooks and eyeball-exploding art-pop.
