Waterstrider is a project based in Oakland, California, led by the nimble guitar playing and tender vocals -- in the vein of Thom Yorke or James Blake -- of Nate Salman. As a live band and on record, the project incorporates electronics, lush ambient soundscapes, and broad dynamics to great, dramatic effect. For this session, Nate performs solo on guitar, where the fragility and emotion of his songs comes to the forefront.


Nowhere Now is available now from 30th Century Records.
