Nate Amos (born January 8, 1991), also known as This is Lorelei, is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and the lead guitarist and producer of indie pop band Water from Your Eyes.
Career
[edit]Amos began using the name This Is Lorelei around 2013, after he relocated to Chicago.[1] In 2015, he met Rachel Brown and formed Water from Your Eyes.[2] Amos released his studio album Box for Buddy, Box for Star (2024), through Double Double Whammy under the name This is Lorelei.[1] He later announced a deluxe version, which was released on April 25, 2025.[3] He released a follow-up, Holo Boy, on December 12, 2025. The album consists of newly-rerecorded versions of songs he wrote and released between 2014 and 2021.[4][5]
Personal life
[edit]Amos lived with his family on a rural mountainside in St. Johnsbury, Vermont.[1] His father Bob Amos and sister Sarah Amos perform as a bluegrass duo, and were featured on the 2026 "Super Deluxe" version of Box for Buddy, Box for Star[6]. As of 2025, Amos is in a relationship with his Water from Your Eyes bandmate Al Nardo.[7]
Musical style
[edit]Jake Nevins, writing for Interview Magazine, felt that for Box for Buddy, Box for Star, Amos had decided to "let his stylistic tendencies run free", including "Postal Service-esque electro-pop" on "Perfect Hand", and, in his own words, a "Bruce Hornsby-ass piano" hook on the '80s synth-pop banger "Dancing in the Club”;[8] while Alex Hudson of Exclaim! felt that Box for Buddy, Box for Star had incorporated influences of classic country.[9]
