This Is Lorelei Is Back with an Infectious New Single, “Oh No Now My”

If you’ve been keeping up with This Is Lorelei—the brilliant project spearheaded by Water from Your Eyes’ Nate Amos—you already know to expect the unexpected. Following the widespread love for lead single “Billy Came Back,” Amos is back with “Oh No Now My” the second taste of his upcoming album, The Singer in My Band, which drops September 11 via Matador Records.

Mixing classic rock foundations with a skewed, endlessly catchy indie-pop perspective, “Oh No Now My” is a reminder of why Nate Amos is one of the sharpest songwriters working right now.

The Story Behind “Oh No Now My”

Coming in as a major standout on the forthcoming record, “Oh No Now My” grabs you right away. According to Amos, the track basically ate itself during the writing process, shifting through three entirely different versions before he finally landed on the final, tightly wound arrangement.

• The Sound: The song leans into a brilliantly simple, emotionally charged chord progression paired with a driving, almost primitive drum beat that keeps the momentum pushing forward from the first second to the last.

• The Hook: True to form, the track is anchored by a deadpan, unforgettable vocal refrain that gets stuck in your head immediately:

  “Oh no, now, my, Joey, I don’t wanna let you miss so much.”

• The Video: To go with the release, This Is Lorelei shared a brilliantly uncanny, claymation-style music video directed by Julia Fernandez that totally captures the playful, slightly off-kilter energy of the song.

Looking Ahead to The Singer in My Band

Following up on 2024’s stellar Box for Buddy, Box for Star—which earned major acclaim and spawned collab-heavy deluxe editions featuring folks like MJ Lenderman and Waxahatchee—This Is Lorelei has officially transitioned from a cult bedroom project into one of the most exciting forces in modern indie.

The Singer in My Band arrives on September 11, 2026, via Matador. If “Oh No Now My” and “Billy Came Back” are anything to go by, this record is easily shaping up to be one of the year’s best alternative releases.
