There was a musical language that we created; something without a guiding pattern that you could really just jump into and see where things could go, Michael Nau says of the process of recording Michael Nau & The Mighty Thread. Hes wildly poetic, especially when recounting his dedication to music, and the work that led to this particular collection of delicately passionate songs. These things became the vehicle by which we travelled, giving us reason to spend most of our lives in a van of sprawling new album was recorded in guitarist Benny Yurcos one-bedroom apartment in downtown Burlington, Vermont. Nau and his collaborators had a cool little set up going in Yurcos spot drums and bass took over the bedroom, the guitar amp in the bathroom, Naus vocals and piano in the living room, and a vibraphone in the kitchen. Its the first time one of Naus records happened all in one place, and it feels most like a band record than ever before. Nau and this particular group of musicians held it down together as a true team, which is why Nau named the record in their honour.
