AMOS THE KID
The release of Enough as it Was in 2023 followed the remarkable rise of Winnipeg’s Amos Nadlersmith from reclusive songwriter to hometown hero. Only a few years have passed since the not-quite-country musician was playing the odd diamond-in-the-rough set in a half-empty bar; now, he’s a stop-him-in-the-street performer playing for sold out crowds of hundreds and who released one of the “most anticipated" and "most underrated" Canadian albums of 2023”(Exclaim!).
The record saw Nadlersmith fully flesh out the corners of his sonic world; his indie-tinged-country rock is burnished for the first time by grungier undertones, somehow managing to be both incisive and feel-good—matching the energy of his live show. The music is never quite as straightforward as you'd expect, and their racaous sing-along-filled shows have become a shorthand for a great night out in Manitoba.
Enough as it Was was produced, engineered and mixed by Adam Fuhr (Yes We Mystic, Virgo Rising, Tinge), mastered by Cam Loeppky (The Weakerthans, Constantines).
