- I had the pleasure of playing a show in Philadelphia with Nate Mays right after the Voodoo Doll EP came out, and I was struck by how emotive and vulnerable much of Nate’s music was. That trend keeps up with the song ‘Casual Romance’ and shows no sign of stopping. Living rough is, well; rough. It’s easy to romanticize the freedom without focusing on the struggle, especially in a genre that highly prizes the rambling Artist. ‘Casual Romance’ ropes you in and leaves a bittersweet aftertaste in the heart. If it’s a sign of what’s to come from Nate, then we as listeners are in for good things with whatever the next release is.
Favorite track: Casual Romance.
