Nate Wood is a legend, he's so frighteningly good. Although I can't imagine listening to his Four music (one person/octopus band) apart from watching the video. Kinda similar to Louis Cole actually, but LC has some good songs that stands on their own.

Yeah he had a few songs in the set that were relatively catchy/memorable for songs I had never heard before. He did just enough to keep it interesting and keep it from devolving into full blown music school circle jerk. Plus there was a palpable energy and vibe to the band as a whole, locked in really well together.

Been checking out some of the recorded stuff, it’s pretty strong overall but the weak link is his singing voice - just sounds thin and strained.

Yeah, I don't love his voice

Feel like a thin, strained voice a much bigger problem than other kinds of unusual, unconventional, possibly unpleasant-sounding voices. See the recent Jonathan Richman discussion on controversial opinions.

Some of the songs could really be bangers with better vocals. I’d like to see him produce for other people or have more guest vocals.
