This Is Lorelei, the solo project of Nate Amos, has released the second single, “Oh No Now My,” from his upcoming album The Singer in My Band. Stream the song below.
On “Oh No Now My,” Amos stacks vocal harmonies to The Beach Boys’ levels over low-tuned indie rock guitars to create a melancholy song that evokes emotion from the lyrics more so than literal meaning. His ambiguous use of the word “miss” in the lyrics creates the pathos with lines like “Joey I wish you didn’t make me miss so much” and “Joey I don’t wanna let you miss so much,” while he continues to center a character, like he did in the preceding single “Billy Came Back,” to heighten the sentiment. Amos said in a statement, “‘Oh No Now My’ is a song that ate itself — there were three 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.”
Upcoming Album and Tour
The Singer in My Band comes out September 11th on Matador Records. Pre-orders for the album are available here. Amos hits the road this fall to support the album.
With the release of “Oh No Now My” and the upcoming album The Singer in My Band, This Is Lorelei is generating buzz in the music scene. Fans can expect a unique sound that blends indie rock with melancholic melodies and thought-provoking lyrics. As Amos continues to create and perform music, his solo project This Is Lorelei is sure to gain attention from music enthusiasts and critics alike.
