The artist is : Rivulets
The album is : You Are My Home
The format is : CD
It will be released on : 11th August 2008
The label is : O Rosa Records

It’s cold, sparsely populated and often stunning in Alaska. Rivulets is one Nathan Amundson, who spent his formative years living in the US state. On You Are My Home all of these qualities come through in an album of great, quietly magnificent beauty.

Amundson left Alaska when he was 16, which was when he began writing songs. Since then, he’s spent almost all of his time travelling non-stop across America. Along the way, he’s released records with Important and Acuarela Records, worked with Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker of Low and has shared a stage with Daniel Johnston, Mark Eitzel, Cocorosie and My Morning Jacket.

You Are My Home is a record that relies on simple things to make its impact. Amundson’s fragile voice, a softly strummed guitar and some aching melodies are its main components. Add in occasional piano notes, yearning strings and some reverbed electric guitars and you have an album that occupies a similar lonely comfort zone to that of Bon Iver, Low or Bonnie Prince Billy. As a single piece of music, You Are My Home is a release to be treasured.

Although Rivulets is Amundson’s solo project, You Are My Home also features contributions from Jessica Bailiff (Kranky), Chris Brokaw (Codeine, Come), Bob Weston (Mission Of Burma, Shellac) and Christian Frederickson (Rachel’s).

You Are My Home will be released on O Rosa Records in the UK on August 11th. News of a European tour will be announced soon. In the meantime, the album’s title track is available at www.myspace.com/rivulets.
