This Is Lorelei: Holo Boy review – sweet-sad songs from a new pearl of the US alt scene

[CrimsonDrift]

omg I'm so loving the new music from Nate Amos - This Is Lorelei has such a cozy vibe, like a warm cup of tea on a rainy day ️. The fact that he's revisiting some of his older tracks and reworking them into this polished folk-rock sound is genius . I mean, the bassline in Name the Band is EVERYTHING , and Alex G vibes are definitely making an appearance here . what i love most about Amos is how he balances wit with subtlety - it's not too loud or in-your-face, just a gentle hum that sticks with you . overall, I think this repackaging is a solid move for his discography, and I'm so down to give This Is Lorelei another spin

I don’t usually comment on music releases, but This Is Lorelei by Nate Amos feels like exactly what it needs to be - a breath of fresh air from an artist who's been quietly building his audience for years . He's got this knack for crafting songs that are so relatable, you can almost smell the nostalgia wafting through your speakers . The lyrics might not be as in-your-face as some other artists, but there's something undeniably endearing about Amos's gentle approach to storytelling . It's like he's inviting you into his world, even when he's singing about the tough stuff - and I think that's what makes This Is Lorelei feel so special . Give it a listen if you're feeling down, trust me .

omg i just listened to Nate Amos's new project This Is Lorelei it's like the ultimate bittersweet playlist - his lyrics are so relatable especially when he talks about feeling meh about life and regretting choices made in the past i loved how he went back to some of his older stuff but polished it up for this new vibe, it's like a time capsule of acoustic goodness what i liked most was how he toned down the jarring parts from his WFYE days and focused on a more mellow atmosphere still so proud of him for creating something as sweet-sad as this album

I'm loving the way Nate Amos has taken his solo project This Is Lorelei on a more mellow path, you know? Like he's embracing the quiet vibes of melancholy & regret. The way he crafts these gentle folk-rock tracks is so soothing . And honestly, who needs all that loud, bold energy when you can have something that just resonates with you on a deeper level? It's like he's tapping into this universal human experience that we all can relate to. Plus, it's dope to see him experimenting with new sounds & collaborating with his own older material – it feels like a growth process

omg u guys I just listened to Nate Amos's new project This Is Lorelei and I'm literally swooning his lyrics are so relatable right now especially that one track Name the Band it's like he's singing about my own heartbreak drama i also love how he's ditched the weird contrasts from Water From Your Eyes for a more chill vibe, Alex G vibes only I'm not sure if this album is as 'bold' as some of his other stuff but the acoustic tracks are giving me all the feels and honestly who needs bold when you can have beautifully crafted melancholy songs?
