Michael Nau and the mighty thread

"Such past masters of deceptively laidback songcraft as Tim Hardin and Fred Neil have been linked to Michael Nau. So far, the comparison has been apt, and not just for a certain shared aesthetic of beautifully phrased world-weariness. Keeping with his vintage forebears, the drowsier spots on Nau's first two solo albums seemed to only hint at the gems the 33-year old songwriter could possibly unveil if only he applied some more elbow-grease. Michael Nau & The Mighty Thread puts a decisive end to any underlying vibes of unrealised potential".

"Throughout, Nau's lyrics search for answers among conflicting observations like "Making it too hard just comes easier" and "There goes somethin'/Yep, there it goes/Here goes nothin'/Just the way it goes." More a gentle expansion than a reformulation, The Mighty Thread should appeal to established fans and other daydreamers".
