“Wonderfully fresh sounding indie songwriting with just a dash of pop music, it owes a debt to that enthralling trip to the heavens”. – Clash Music (UK)
“The increasingly urgent and intertwined vocals, haunting vocal repetition, and thick swatches of guitar distortion place this track solidly alongside Daughter in the realm of darkly graceful alt-folk”. – The Line of Best Fit (UK)
“A sunny, life-affirming indie bop that indulges your melancholy before whisking it away on a summer breeze”. – Music Feeds (AUS)

UK-based indie singer-songwriter, Nathan Ball, has just revealed his stirring new single ‘Call It Love’ – produced by fellow band member and long-time collaborator Max Radford.
Led by compelling vocal melodies and earnest lyricism, ‘Call It Love’ gently builds with its spacious rhythmic section into sweeping deft guitar and dream-laden keys. Coasting along effortlessly, the track never loses sight of its consistent energy, only slightly shifting when needed into its soaring anthemic chorus.
Nathan describes the motivation behind the track: “’Call It Love’ was written after we’d been on the road through the summer playing festivals, we were inspired by the energy of it all and got back to London and wanted to get back to writing. Max – our producer had moved his bed into his garage and we turned his room into a studio. It was a great space and worked out pretty well until winter arrived and it got too cold in the garage so we changed it all back around, but we got this song out of it”.
The release of ‘Call It Love’ coincides with Nathan’s second visit to Australia, where he is currently supporting Ziggy Alberts on his mammoth 24 sold-out date tour in front of audiences in NSW, VIC, ACT, WA and QLD.
Finding inspiration in the outdoors, much of Nathan’s material is connected to his surroundings. “It’s where I write best; by the sea, in the mountains, in the woods. I love being totally immersed in nature so naturally those themes find their way into the music. I love being in the ocean – just being in it, and feeling totally insignificant. It’s a reminder of the order of things.”
Nathan’s work fuses two chief loves – classic song writing and an eagerness to experiment and push sonic boundaries. Perhaps unexpectedly, he finds inspiration in left-field house music.
“I love the way it makes you feel – it’s euphoric, but sad, introverted but expressive. I love that darker side of the genre”.
Nathan will continue touring Australia till early-March, with 16 shows remaining across the East and West Coast.

AMNPLIFY – DB
My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
