The Singer in My Band

The Singer in My Band is the third studio album by This Is Lorelei (Nate Amos), released September 11, 2026 on Matador Records, marking his debut on the label^[1]. The 34-minute, 11-track record was recorded at Amos's home studio in Brooklyn, and he reportedly kept the finished album secret from Matador until submitting it within thirty minutes of signing his contract^[1].

Amos calls it his "road album," explaining that the songs took shape while he was daydreaming in the car during tours, without access to any instruments^[1][2]. The result leans further into Americana and bluegrass than his earlier, more electronic-leaning work, featuring his father Bob Amos on banjo and his sister Sarah Amos on vocals^[3]. Critics described it as his warmest and most cohesive record, populated by a cast of recurring characters and threaded through with themes of love, loss, addiction, distance, and the pull of music itself^[2][4]. The album received strong reviews, including a Metacritic score in the low eighties reflecting broad critical acclaim^[1].
