Yes, Nate Amos released Holo Boy<\/a><\/em> in December and Box For Buddy, Box For Star (Super Deluxe)<\/a><\/em> in April. Yes, his band Water From Your Eyes has been touring with Hayley Williams for the past few months. But the indie rocker simply finds time to make new music. We sort of knew it was coming when, last month, he signed to Matador<\/a> and announced a fall tour. But it’s still quite staggering. The Singer In My Band<\/em> arrives this fall, and today we have the amazing lead single “Billy Came Back.”<\/p>\n “‘Billy Came Back’ stewed for months before I picked up a guitar to work it out \u2014 I kept forgetting about it but it always came back,” Amos said. “Finishing the song was the only way to get it to leave me alone.”<\/p>\n Naturally, The Singer In My Band<\/em> came into existence while he was touring. “The ideas incubated while daydreaming in the car without access to any instruments,” he explains, “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.”<\/p>\n The album is engineered, produced, and performed entirely by Amos, except for some banjo on the title track, which is done by his father, the bluegrass musician Bob Amos. “Billy Came Back” is really, really good. I know we expect it to be really good, but still. I want to listen to it a million times, and I think I could without getting tired of it.
