On his exquisite third solo album, Nathan Bowles (Steve Gunn, Pelt, Black Twig Pickers) again augments his mesmeric clawhammer banjo pieces with piano, percussion, and vocals. Instead of the programmatic place-based narratives of its predecessor Nansemond (PoB-16), Whole & Cloven offers a stoic meditation on absence, loss, and fragmentation, populating those experiential gaps—the weighty interstices and places in-between—with stillness and wonder. Straddling Appalachian string band music and avant-garde composition but beholden to neither idiom, Nathan proves himself heir to deconstructivist tradition-bearers like Henry Flynt and Jack Rose. With download code.

“Nathan's music is marked by both his deep study of vernacular American forms and his years-long dedication to the development of his own voice. He is a musician who respects tradition as he values experimentation, an artist whose work commands careful listening. This balance is what makes Nathan's voice singular: as a player, he is fearless, challenging. And as a listener, I am grateful and inspired.” – Steve Gunn 

“Wry, sad, troubled, and mesmeric compositions imbued with a spooked and grainy Appalachian potency. Rich chaparrals of deep buzzing color you could lose yourself in forever.” – MOJO 

“He could play forever without boring himself or anyone listening.” – Pitchfork 

“A portal through time.” – NPR 

“Stunning. A Terrence Malick film with just a handful of strings.” – Steven Hyden 

“I have huge respect for Nathan as a musician on so many levels.” – Michael Chapman

“Nathan Bowles is like my spirit animal. It’s the real shit … beautiful then, beautiful now. Timeless.” – Kurt Vile

Nathan Bowles: Whole & Cloven – "Words Spoken Aloud" (2016, PoB-28)

I wanna die for too much of a good thing
If it’s life then hell I’m gonna sing
I’m the ghost on the corner
Hell I’m gonna warn ya
If I die let it be from a good thing

On the morning of my celebration
There came a call from the local police station
They said the smile on my face
Was the one and only trace of addiction
That claimed my life

I wanna die for too much of a good thing
If it’s love then hell I’m gonna sing
I’m the ghost on the corner
Hell I’m gonna warn ya
If I die let it be from a good thing

On the eve of my bodies Mourning
They said my death was abnormally boring
I had a heart in my chest
That was doing it’s best
Till’ I died from too much of a good thing

I wanna die for too much of a good thing
If it’s love then hell I’m gonna sing
I’m the ghost on the corner
Hell I’m gonna warn ya
If I die let it be from a good thing
