RIVULETS
r i v u l e t s (2002) |
||||||
CKM004 (r i v u l e t s) Centered on the tense, moving, often disturbing songs of Nathan Amundson, Rivulets consists primarily of Amundson on acoustic guitar and voice, with various friends adding other instrumentation. While the moniker may suggest otherwise, the one constant of Rivulets remains Nathan and his subtle balladry, wrought with quiet conviction from the simplest of means. On this self-titled debut, Nathan is joined by LD Beghtol (Flare, The Magnetic Fields), who provides ukulele and shruti box; Mimi Parker (Low) who lends her percussion and angelic voice to "Barreling..." and Jay Kroehler (ex-Puritan) on bass, xylophone and effect manipulation. Nathan plays guitar, toy piano, optigan, drums, and sings. The album was recorded and mixed over a series of winter sessions at Low's 20 Below studio in Duluth by Alan Sparhawk, who also played baritone guitar, shaker and sang a little. |

PRESS "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." –the Broken Face "Realistically, Nathan Amundson (Rivulets) should have put out a record with at least one bad song by now. He hasn't." –the Brain ".a shining gem of introspective modern ethereal folk." –Outburn |
