““Now that I’m a songwriter, quote unquote ….” Amos says offhand during a recent interview.”
“He ended up finishing the Lorelei album in a week.”
““‘Alt-Country Star Nate Amos’ makes it sound like I have a lot more money than I have,” he quips.”
“I remember sitting there and being like, ‘This is weird.’” Lenderman might have been the first high-profile artist to cover a This is Lorelei tune, but others soon followed.”
“Then he smiles to himself.”
“Now, he’s trying to figure out what it means to turn that passion project into a fast-rising, for-real career.”
““I was like on the couch trying not to laugh while he was recording it.”
“That’s how it works in Water For Your Eyes, more or less, and he liked it just fine.”
“He recorded The Singer in My Band on a tight deadline last year, racing to get it done before kicking off the promotional cycle for Water From Your Eyes’ acclaimed album It’s a Beautiful Place .”
““The bit for that song was that I was going to try to make a song that a pop star could cover,” he says.”
“I don’t know exactly when it happened.” For years, Amos preferred being the guy in the band who wrote songs while someone else does the singing.”
““I tried to get over that for this album.” Amos’ process for writing albums becomes much easier once he gets the first two songs down.”
“He’s Not Sure How That Happened, Either With a new album out as This Is Lorelei, he's making sense of his newfound position as someone who gets covered by MJ Lenderman and Cameron Winter By Jonathan Bernstein Jonathan Bernstein Alabama Shakes Are Back — and Breaking New Ground — on ‘I Must Be Dreaming’ Vin Diesel Proves There’s No Wrong Way To Honor Dolly Parton Dolly Parton’s Last Public Appearance Was at Her Own Truck Stop View all posts by Jonathan Bernstein September 9, 2026 Eve Alpert* The first time Nate Amos refers to himself as a songwriter in conversation, he uses air quotes.”
““That goes back to the whole ‘songwriter’ in air quotes thing.”
“It was where he dumped whatever off-kilter pop tunes he was working on, posting them online for a miniscule audience.”
“The Singer In My Band , the straightforwardly upbeat roots record he released this month, is the first example of what that might look like.”
“How did the weirdo pop-art side project become the go-to vessel for the Great Indie Songwriter?”
““If I can get the chemical reaction between those two things, then the rest of the album will write itself,” he says.”
“Now I’m trying to find whole new ways to write, which is the whole point.” But Amos isn’t hiding from the increased expectations that now follow This is Lorelei.”

““I kept bouncing off the bottom of the rabbit hole, and at a certain point it seemed like the most creatively aggressive thing I could do would just be to rubber-band all the way back to the most bare-bones type of songwriting I could muster.”
“So I guess the quotes are because I didn’t expect to make my in-character singer-songwriter album and have a bunch of people go, ‘singer-songwriter Nate Amos.’ That took a little while to get used to.” Amos is referring to Box For Buddy, Box for Star , an album that, in the two years since its 2024 release, has become an unexpected success story.”
