With dozens of homespun projects, some dating back over a decade, Nate Amos’ Bandcamp back catalog presents a daunting prospect. For his second proper LP as This Is Lorelei, Amos—also half of Water From Your Eyes—combed through the archives and re-recorded 10 songs that span yacht rock (“I Can’t Fall,” “This is a Joke”), power pop (“Dreams Away,” “Name the Band”), and more experimental directions (“Mouth Man”). As Sue Park writes in Pitchfork’s review, “what’s most impressive about Holo Boy is how breezy and self-assured it sounds. Few of these songs were intended to live together originally, but it still feels like Amos is coasting in a sweet spot; his sense of humor and ear for hooks shine through.”

Fred Again..: USB002 [Atlantic]
Fred Again.. calls USB his “infinite” album. Dating back to 2022, the project once comprised only eight tracks but now numbers more than 30. USB002, the second official iteration, adds some names both predictable (Caribou, Floating Points) and totally out of left field (Danny Brown, Amyl and the Sniffers).
