Rivulets

Centered on the tense, moving, often disturbing songs of Nathan Amundson, Rivulets consists of Amundson on acoustic guitar and vocals while Jay Kroehler adds ethereal bass and effects. On this self-titled debut, Nathan is joined by LD Beghtol (Flare, The Magnetic Fields), who provides ukulele and shruti box; Mimi Parker (Low) who lends her percussion and angelic voice to "Barreling..."; and Jay Kroehler (ex- Puritan) on bass, xylophone and effect manipulation. Nathan plays guitar, toy piano, optigan, drums, and sings. The album was recorded and mixed over a series of winter sessions at Low's 20 Below studio in Duluth by Alan Sparhawk, who also played baritone guitar, shaker and sang a little.
