Today, This Is Lorelei, the project of prolific indie musician Nate Amos, announced the follow up to his breakout record Box For Buddy, Box For Star. It’s out September 11th via Matador Records.

With the announcement comes lead single “Billy Came Back,“ which introduces one of the record’s many characters.

“‘Billy Came Back’ stewed for months before I picked up a guitar to work it out - I kept forgetting about it but it always came back. Finishing the song was the only way to get it to leave me alone,” says Amos.

 Elaborating on the full record, he says “The ideas [for The Singer In My Band] incubated while daydreaming in the car without access to any instruments,” he recalls, “so instead of being home and writing on the guitar or a computer, they developed slowly and subconsciously, existing as a sort of intangible thing while looking out the van window.”

The Singer In My Band is out September 11th. Preorder here. Tracklist below.
