This Is Lorelei’s Billy Came Back arrives on 23 June with the slightly alarming reminder that Nate Amos apparently has more hours in the day than the rest of us. After recent This Is Lorelei releases and Water From Your Eyes touring, Amos has announced The Singer In My Band, his first new album for Matador. The new single opens a record written while moving, daydreaming in vehicles, letting ideas incubate without instruments until the road itself became part of the writing process. That is a strong premise for an artist whose best work often turns casual weirdness into emotional precision. Billy Came Back sounds like a road song without the usual heroic clichés. It is less about arrival than mental drift, the strange melodies that appear when the van window becomes a screen and the highway refuses to stop scrolling.
