PROJECTION
NATURE'S NEIGHBOR
RELEASED: 6.22.2024
Written and recorded in the two years following a move from Chicago to Kyoto, Projection is quite possibly the most personal and revealing album in the Nature's Neighbor cannon. Lead singer and songwriter Mike Walker digs deep on this one to bring the listener nine songs that all feel like personal epiphanies attained through intense self reflection. Seth Engel and Terrill Mast support Mike's songs in a way that only the closest of bandmates who have worked intimately together for over a decade can achieve, while new collaborators like Shintaro Nagahara and Taro Inoue bring a fresh new energy that really makes each song glow brightly in the dark. Projection is an album that feels as though it was harvested from the soil of a dense forest somewhere in the Kyoto countryside. And that's because it was.
