  This Is Lorelei

  A long running songwriting outlet for New York-based Nate Amos, known for his work as one half of the critically acclaimed duo Water From Your Eyes and the duo My Idea, which he leads with Lily Konigsberg, This Is Lorelei began in 2015 while Amos lived in Chicago. He cut his teeth producing hundreds of records for collaborators in the DIY scene there, steadily amassing a vast catalog of Lorelei EP’s and albums along the way, all produced, performed, and engineered by Amos. While originally a home for Amos’ most experimental compositions, the project has evolved to seamlessly thread a needle through indie, electronica, country, and more, operating in an almost diaristic manner. Amos grew up singing harmony and performing in his father Bob Amos’ bluegrass band, developing sensibilities that come to the foreground in his work under the Lorelei moniker. Some of his earliest memories are of songwriting, picking up a guitar in the 5th grade, and as he remembers “I was always trying to start a band but wasn’t around anyone who was interested in doing more than coming up with a name and making an album cover until high school.”
