Ears Wide Open: Nate Miller

Nate Miller in a L.A.-based, Washington, D.C. ex-pat whose late 2012 release “Fall Is Meant for Falling to the Ground” is an amiable mix of up-tempo folk-rock and lovelorn Americana adorned with piano, organ, horns, pedal steel and strings. It was produced by Nate Vaughan, who plays on the album along with more than 15 other contributors, including cellist Anna Su, who provides background vocals on “The Darkest Spaces.” Speaking of strings, the video for that track takes the idea of I-feel-so-lost-it’s-like-I’m-floating to a Valencia pool. We don’t know what’s sadder, the song, or the fact that, as director Nick Borges says, “indeed, the violin was lost at sea.”
