MICHAEL NAU

Every so often a singer-songwriter from America’s dusty outbacks makes a certain and singular mark, as on this beautiful second album from Appalachia-bred Nau. Lightness of touch and tenderness of heart are the qualities guiding this thrilling and confident journey. Nau’s sonic textures are airy and beguiling, unveiling fresh invention at every turn, be it the summery snap of Scumways or the spellbinding emotional layers on Done The Wonder.
