"Bowles uses the 4-track cassette recorder to generate improvised pieces that are built upon, stripped away, and reconstituted into slabs of mid-fidelity string-bending scuzz, creaky seasick organ wheeze, and eye-searing harmonic shimmer."
New Nathan Bowles #experimental album “Seven Lefts"
Seven Lefts, by Nathan Bowles
Seven Lefts by Nathan Bowles, released 06 February 2026 1. Left One 2. Left Two 3. Left Three 4. Left Four 5. Left Five 6. Left Six 7. Left Seven improvisations (keyboards, tapes, banjo) recorded to cassette (4-trk & 1-trk) at home(s) 2023-2025 mix assistance & mastering by brian haran photo by matthew ‘doc’ dunn bc / digi only for now yr support is v much appreciated stay righteous ======================= Nathan Bowles’ new self-released collection ’Seven Lefts’ arrives as the result of a several-years-long personal practice: improvisation as a function of home recording. With an instrumental palette of keyboards, tape samples, and banjo, Bowles uses the 4-track cassette recorder to generate improvised pieces that are built upon, stripped away, and reconstituted into slabs of mid-fidelity string-bending scuzz, creaky seasick organ wheeze, and eye-searing harmonic shimmer. Initially recorded as a way to reflect on evolving instrumental techniques and arrangement ideas, these pieces were then edited down, mixed, and sequenced (with clutch assistance from Brian Haran) into something well-suited for the particularly tuned ears and hearts of those who dig their ideal listening viscosity calibrated somewhere between amniotic fluid and quicksand.

@NearerAndFarther It’s very experimental, but I love his work, especially the “Setting” collaboration with Jamie and Joe Westerlund.
