Search - Rivulets :: You Are My Home

"Often driven only by voice or quiet guitar, Rivulets is frighteningly gentle, yet genuinely powerful. The brooding love songs of Mark Kozelek's Red House Painters are an apt comparison, as are the acute, windswept soundscapes of Iceland's Sigur Rós. Most often, the music suggests the isolation and odd beauty found at the center of an iced-over lake in the middle of winter." -- ALL MUSIC GUIDE "Think of the hazy grace of Low, the heartrending honesty of Will Oldham and the songcraft of Nick Drake and you understand it's hard for me not to give this one my wholehearted recommendation." -- BROKEN FACE "A shining gem of introspective modern ethereal folk." -- OUTBURN Long-delayed third album by internationally acclaimed solo artist Rivulets features guests Jessica Bailiff (Kranky), Chris Brokaw (Codeine, Come, The New Year), Christian Frederickson (Rachel's), Fred Lonberg-Holm (Boxhead Ensemble), and Bob Weston (Mission of Burma, Shellac). Rivulets is the project of minimalist singer-songwriter Nathan Amundson, a prolific songwriter with releases out on several labels including Acuarela, Bluesanct, Silber, and Chair Kickers' Union. Extensive touring overseas has garnered Rivulets an intensely loyal fan base across Europe. A few of the artists that Rivulets has shared bills with in the past include Cerberus Shoal, Cocorosie, Mark Eitzel, Daniel Johnston, Low, Mirah, My Morning Jacket, Songs: Ohia, Shannon Wright, and Xiu Xiu. This is not a folk album. This is an album about hearts breaking, tearing it down, and moving on.
