This Is Lorelei announces new album The Singer in My Band

This Is Lorelei, the project of Nate Amos (Water From Your Eyes), has announced his debut album for Matador Records, entitled The Singer in My Band, the LP will drop on September 11, 2026 via Matador Records. Ahead of the release, the artist has shared the track “Billy Came Back.” This Is Lorelei will be touring in support of the album, with Bleachers, @ and Colin Miller.

The Singer in My Band was written while touring the globe in support of releases from both his bands, The Singer in My Band arrives as the first true ‘road record’ in Amos’ discography. “The ideas 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.”

“Billy Came Back,” the album’s lead single, arrives today alongside a video by Alan “Rickman” Official. “‘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.

Amos continues: “It’s funny, I sent my dad the album after I finished it, and he said it was kind of an “on the road beatnik” album and that reframed it for me,” says Amos. “It really is like a collection of chaotic experiences that you have while travelling. They’re also very much little works of fiction with elements of truth to them.”

The Singer in My Band came together in the same apartment Amos has produced much of his music, with final touches made at his parents’ house in St. Johnsbury, Vermont. Amos engineered, produced, and performed everything on Singer, save for a blistering banjo lead on the title track courtesy of his father, bluegrass musician Bob Amos, and the occasional vocals from his sister Sarah Amos and partner Al Nardo. “They’re three people who had a fundamental impact on what this album was to begin with, and the ways they could contribute were things that I had in mind as I was writing the songs,” he explains.
