Background notes
Archive material and source history
Michael Nau started making music in New Brunswick, New Jersey, picking up the guitar and writing his own songs. In 2005, he formed a band with bassist Jason Anderson and drummer Kevin Coleman. Their debut album came out in 2009, followed by records like 'The Weight of Light' in 2011 and 'Mowing' in 2013.
His songs like 'Love Survive' and 'While You Stand' have a quiet, introspective quality that feels lived-in rather than polished. The music tends to stay in that space where folk melodies meet personal reflection, without much fanfare.
Nau has been open about personal struggles, including addiction, which sometimes surfaces in interviews. That directness gives his work a grounded quality, even when the lyrics lean toward the poetic. The band put out another album in 2015 called 'So'.
