This Is Lorelei’s Nate Amos has announced a new album of old songs. Holo Boy compiles 10 re-recorded tracks originally written between 2014 and 2021, all pulled from Amos’ extensive back catalog of Bandcamp releases. It’s out December 12 via Double Double Whammy. Listen to a new version of “Name the Band,” from 2021’s Jimmy Buffet Tape, below.
“The songs on Box for Buddy, Box for Star are really similar, and they’re produced in such a way that the differences are accentuated, whereas with Holo Boy, the songs are really different, but they’re produced in such a way that the commonalities are accentuated,” Amos said in a press statement. “I tried to look at the catalog as little as possible and more just think to myself, ‘What are songs from the past that I feel like are good songs, demonstrate growth, and are significant to me, in terms of embodying a certain period of time?’”
Earlier this year, Amos put out a deluxe version of his last This is Lorelei LP, 2024’s Box for Buddy Box for Star, with contributions from MJ Lenderman and Snail Mail. Water From Your Eyes, the duo of Amos and Rachel Brown, also shared the album It’s a Beautiful Place in August. They’re currently on tour in support of the record.
