Water From Your Eyes Star's Dark Folk Reimagining

Nate Amos, known for his work in the Brooklyn-based duo Water From Your Eyes, is now drawing attention to his solo project, This Is Lorelei. This latest release compiles re-recorded tracks from Lorelei's extensive Bandcamp history. In contrast to the wry, hypermodern pop of Water From Your Eyes, these new versions embrace a gentle folk-rock style, imbued with regret and a sense of darkness.

The re-recorded songs are primarily brief and suggestive in their narratives, often touching upon themes of disappointment and introspection. While not reaching the lyrical depth of contemporaries like Alex G, Amos showcases a talent for captivating details, such as the pop-punk bassline on 'Name the Band' and the bright guitar on 'Dreams Away.'

While this collection of sweet-sad acoustic fare may not possess the eclectic intensity of Amos's other project, it stands as an enjoyable repackaging of his earlier work. The release offers listeners a different facet of Amos's musical identity, highlighting his versatility beyond the sound that brought Water From Your Eyes recent acclaim.
