Long-delayed 3rd album by internationally acclaimed solo
artist Rivulets. Featuring guests Jessica Bailiff (Kranky),
Chris Brokaw (Codeine, Come,the New Year), Christian
Frederickson (Rachel's), Fred Lonberg-Holm (Boxhead Ensemble),
& Bob Weston (Mission of Burma, Shellac).
The contributions of these remarkable musicians adds snowy
layers of wintery texture to Nathan Amundson's beautiful
recordings. Like Nick Drake smothered not with layers of
orchestration, but subtle textures to truly compliment the
mood of the album.
Rivulets is the project of minimalist singer-songwriter Nathan
Amundson. Born in Colorado, Amundson grew up in Alaska before
leaving home at age 16 and moving frequently throughout the
United States. He started performing
as Rivulets in 1999, and currently resides in Bloomington, IN.
Rivulets is a prolific songwriter, with releases out on
several labels, including Acuarela, BlueSanct, Silber, and
Chair Kickers' Union.
This is Rivulets' 3rd full length album, and 1st for Important
Records.
Rivulets' first 2 full-length albums, r i v u l e t s (2002)
and Debridement (2003), were both recorded by Alan Sparhawk of
Low, and released on Low's own label Chair Kickers' Union.
These albums feature guest appearances from the likes of
Jessica Bailiff , LD Beghtol (Magnetic Fields), Jon DeRosa
(Aarktica), Marc Gartman (No Wait Wait), Brian John Mitchell
(Remora), Aaron Molina (if thousands), and Mimi Parker
(Low).
Extensive touring overseas has garnered Rivulets intensely
loyal fanbases across Europe. We're hoping this, Rivulets 1st
album on Important records, will help the US to take notice as
well. A few of the artists Rivulets has shared bills with in
the past include: Haley Bonar, Chris Brokaw, Cerberus Shoal,
Cocorosie, Mark Eitzel, Daniel Johnston, Low, Mirah, My
Morning Jacket, the New Year, Scout Niblett, Piano Magic,
Radar Bros., Stars of the Lid, Songs: Ohia, Swearing at
Motorists, Willard Grant Conspiracy, Shannon Wright, and Xiu
