Michael Nau Announces New Album Popfly: Hear The Title Track

Veteran indie singer-songwriter Michael Nau, known for his work with Page France and Cotton Jones, is preparing his next solo album, titled Popfly. The release is scheduled for October, coinciding with the peak of the baseball playoffs. Alongside the announcement, Nau has shared the title track, an indie-folk ballad featuring the poignant line, "Something's happened to my body."

The melody of the chorus has been haunting him for years, prompting him to craft lyrics to accompany it. The inspiration for the song came to him during odd moments, such as dreaming about throwing pitches from a baseball mound. Nau acknowledges the randomness of how the song came together, expressing his surprise at how it all came together.

He is proud of the final product and hopes the album will evoke similar feelings in listeners. Popfly is set to be released on October 23 via Suicide Squeeze. Pre-orders are now available.
