Thanks to the good folks over at Pitchfork for their incredibly kind and prescient words on Nathan Bowles’ new album Plainly Mistaken:

Mixing a deep knowledge of regional folk traditions with a delight in modern composition, the banjo player and his exploratory new trio are delightfully suspended between earth and outer space … his best album to date—his most mystical and earthbound, all at once. – Stephen Deusner, Pitchfork

Nathan also got together with Aquarium Drunkard recently to talk about the new record and how he became the banjo guy.

Plainly Mistaken ebbs and flows in a similar fashion to the way Bowles speaks. It pauses to contemplate; it speeds through ideas only to soon revisit them. It circles. The record’s easy going while being totally focused. – Aquarium Drunkard

Plainly Mistaken is out now! Stream the album everywhere music is streamable, and please considering buying a copy directly from us or from your favorite local shop, digi-merchant, or mailorder.
