Michael Nau returns with his new album, Some Twist, out 16th June on Full Time Hobby.Some Twist is the follow up to 2016’s Mowing and its announcement comes amidst a flurry of recent activity. Two weeks ago, Nau debuted songs from Some Twist on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic and headlined two sold out shows on back-to-back nights in Los Angeles. He has received extensive BBC radio play and been selected as a '6 Music Recommends' pick. One-off single 'Love Survive' cracked the top 50 on Spotify's Global Viral Chart and Elton John has played Nau on his Beats1 show.
The first single from Some Twist, 'Good Thing', debuted via The Fader who described it as 'sweet, a little fuzzy, and good for the soul'. Bright piano and fingerpicked guitar weave together throughout the song with a chorus that swells with feedback fuzz and crashing percussion. Nau’s ever-present sense of humor, one of the hallmarks of his songwriting, gives the song a wry sense of purpose amidst its reflection.
Michael Nau has also confirmed he'll be heading out on a UK tour with Haley Bonar in March and April. He'll play the following dates:
Mon. March 27 – Brighton, UK @ Komedia
Tue. March 28 – Nottingham, UK @ Bodega
