Release Date: 12th December

Nate Amos didn't just appear from the sky, with the tunes, ya know? Whether it's as one half of experimental noise pop band Water From Your Eyes, power pop duo My Idea or as This Is Lorelei, he's been making and releasing elite homespun DIY indie rock music for well over a decade now. On 'Holo Boy', he follows up 'Box For Buddy, Box For Star' with a revisit of his prolific bandcamp past and has re-recorded and reinterpreted some of his finest moments you likely (definitely) missed.
Absolutely one of our favourite artists doing it today. 

For those who dig: Beck, Eels, MJ Lenderman, Elliott Smith and of course Water From Your Eyes...

 Nate Amos has always charted his own path. Whether it’s the candid charm of This Is Lorelei or the idiosyncratic chic of Water From Your Eyes, the New York City-based singer-songwriter has a knack for contorting the familiar into something new. But guitar pop isn’t the only thing he’s refashioned in his own image. After the breakout indie success of Box for Buddy, Box for Star, his quasi-debut album as This Is Lorelei, Amos rethought the typical album format altogether. The result is This Is Lorelei’s sort-of-second sort-of-album, Holo Boy—neither a retrospective compilation, nor a traditionally new LP, but an undeniable reaffirmation of Amos’ past and present talents. Heartening, tuneful, and playful as ever, Holo Boy’s songs were sourced from This Is Lorelei’s sprawling back catalog and re-recorded in May 2025. With more ears on his work now, Amos was excited by the idea of a release that would encourage new fans to delve deeper into his discography and allow him to revisit past songs of personal significance. Its mellifluous acoustic strums and breezy, thrumming electric guitar lines exude a summery, carefree glow and anchor a rather ambitious tracklist. Holo Boy features 10 re-recorded versions of songs written from 2014 to 2021, collected from nine different This Is Lorelei releases. With hundreds of tracks to choose from, Amos elected not to treat this LP as a best-of, or to spend hours listening back, but instead to pick interesting songs from a long span that are special to him. The album was sequenced intentionally and conceptualized as its own distinct work, but it was recorded quickly and instinctively to honor the straight-to-Bandcamp spirit of the original songs and to have an accurate document of This Is Lorelei in 2025.
