Nate Amos Discusses This Is Lorelei and Musical Path

Nate Amos was at the forefront of the Americana revival through the project This Is Lorelei. In contrast to This Is Lorelei, his other project, Water From Your Eyes, uses a more experimental production approach. The album The Singer In My Band by This Is Lorelei leans directly into a singer-songwriter approach, and Amos states that The Singer In My Band contains more alt-country elements. According to Amos, leaning into songwriting archetypes in Lorelei was initially a bit, though he later forgot that it was a bit.

Regarding his creative identity, Amos says he sees himself primarily as a producer/composer. He explains that he is more comfortable as a producer and composer than he is being a songwriter. Early in his life, bluegrass became the very first genre of music to which Amos was exposed. Furthermore, Amos says that Vermont and music represent similar things for him personally.

Chicago was the first scene for Amos, and he lived in the city for six years. Amos also studied audio engineering at Columbia University. Soon after studying audio engineering at Columbia University, Amos started work in a studio.
