Nate Amos and his project This Is Lorelei have signed to Matador Records, and the announcement arrives alongside one of the more sprawling tour itineraries of the year, running from May through December across North America, the UK, Ireland, and South America.
The New York Times recently profiled Amos as “a phenomenon” who crafts “immaculately crafted bedroom-pop gems.” Hayley Williams put it more personally: “Nate feels like a classic American songwriter. I listen to his writing and think, ‘Man, I wish I could do that.'” That kind of endorsement carries real weight.
The signing follows a strong stretch of momentum behind ‘Box For Buddy, Box For Star’, which landed on year-end lists at Rolling Stone, Billboard, GQ, Pitchfork, Stereogum, and The FADER. A Super Deluxe version of the album recently arrived featuring fully reimagined versions of every song, with contributions from Hayley Williams, Waxahatchee, MJ Lenderman, Jeff Tweedy, Snail Mail, SASAMI, Momma, and more.
The tour includes festival appearances at Kilby Block Party, Newport Folk, and Just Like Heaven, support dates with Bleachers and Colin Miller, and a full UK and Ireland run in November closing at Electric Brixton in London before South American dates at Primavera Sound in Buenos Aires and São Paulo. Toronto’s Lee’s Palace gets a Halloween show on October 30.
Tickets go on sale Friday May 15 at 10 am local time.
