This Is Lorelei is the solo project from Nate Amos of the Brooklyn-bred Water From Your Eyes. That band made one of the best indie rock singles of 2023—“Barley,” a hypnotic, funky, punky slice of breakbeat confusion that crams a record’s worth of ideas into three and a half minutes. This Is Loreli is on a bit of a different tip, but there’s still plenty of ideas. Opener “Angel’s Eye” is a country song, for example. It sees the artist dueting with himself. Other tracks strike a balance between rootsy, baseline American songwriting and forward-leaning production moves. It’s comfortable and just skewed enough and very listenable.
