SONGS OF
Today! What a day! we announce the record SONGS OF by Nathaniel Russell, out physically and digitally May 24th, 2024 via Psychic Hotline.
I have a lot of songs I have made up and sung to/with my friends, family, and myself over the years. Certain ones stick around and seem connected to others from different times. I have changed some words and how I play them but they are all of me and my time on earth and what it’s like to be a person on this thing. When I think of these songs all together I think of them as being on the record for sale at the merch table at my funeral, next to the souvenir t-shirt, a book of drawings and maybe a bumper sticker.
This record was produced by Amelia Meath and would not exist without her direction and creative powers. It was recorded at Betty’s in North Carolina, engineered, mixed and mastered by Alli Rogers and features the playing and singing of myself, Amelia Meath, Alli Rogers, Matt Douglas, Nick Sanborn and Joe Westerlund. All of whom are magical geniuses, if you ask me.
I am so proud of this work.
The physical records (and cassettes) come out in May and are available for pre-order via Psychic Hotline or your local independent record shop. The LPs will include a booklet with art and lyrics and a fold-out poster inside and each jacket will be stamped, stuffed and numbered by me.
In celebration and album announcement fashion we are sharing the first song from the record WONDERFUL TO BE IN LOVE and the video I made for it. (SEE BELOW) I have a lot to say about the video but take a look and listen and I’ll explain more later. Links are in my bio.
Thank You Psychic Hotline. Thank You Amelia. Thank you Alli, Matt, Joe, and Nick. Thank You Betty’s. Endless thanks. PEACE PEACE PEACE.
