The Old Illusions

Nathaniel Bellows writes songs that blend the timeless simplicity of Simon & Garfunkel, the shadowed affect of Conor Oberst, and the rich, lyrical narratives of Joanna Newsom, balanced by a gritty, rustic vocal style evocative of Michael Stipe. This is emotionally direct, finger-picked-guitar-folk-songwriting at its finest, with lyrics that bear profound rewards. It is music that deserves a wide audience, and with any luck, will find it.

A textured, beautiful and genuine album - incredible songwriting brought to life with a great voice, melodic guitar and talented collaborators. A fantastic debut from a true artist.
