Rivulets est le projet du songwriter Nathan Amundson. 

Après deux premiers albums, r i v u l e t s (2002) et Debridement (2003), enregistrés par Alan Sparhawk de Low et sortis sur le propre label de ces derniers (Chair Kickers' Union), Rivulets a publié en 2006 You Are My Home sur l’excellent label américain Important Records. 

You Are My Home a bénéficié de la participation de Jessica Bailiff (Kranky), Chris Brokaw (Codeine, Come,the New Year), Christian Frederickson (Rachel's), Fred Lonberg-Holm (Boxhead Ensemble) et Bob Weston (Mission of Burma, Shellac). 

Par le passé, on a pu croiser Rivulets sur scène aux cotés de Chris Brokaw, Cocorosie, Mark Eitzel, Daniel Johnston, Low, Mirah, Scout Niblett, Piano Magic, Radar Bros., Stars of the Lid, Songs: Ohia, Shannon Wright, ou encore Xiu Xiu.

“Often driven only by voice or quiet guitar, Rivulets is frighteningly gentle, yet genuinely powerful. The brooding love songs of Mark Kozelek’s Red House Painters are an apt comparison, as are the acute, windswept soundscapes of Iceland’s Sigur Ros. Most often, the music suggests the isolation and odd beauty found at the center of an iced-over lake in the middle of winter.” 
All Music Guide 

” Four stars [”DEBRIDEMENT”]. Amundson’s songs may occasionally make Nick Drake sound full o’ beans, but their forlorn, otherworldly beauty is seldom less captivating.” 
MOJO 

”Who? Singer-songwriter Nathan Amundson. Sounds like: Dark, sparse folk music played on acoustic guitar and an assortment of other instruments. How is it? Quietly effective and moving. Close examination will be rewarded handsomely. Kindred spirits: Low, Nick Drake, Will Oldham” 
Alternative Press 

”Think of the hazy grace of Low, the heartrending honesty of Will Oldham and the songcraft of Nick Drake and you understand it’s hard for me not to give this one my wholehearted recommendation.” 
The Broken Face 

&quot;As minimalist tunes from a singer/songwriter goes, this is certainly some of the better music out there today. Following bands like Low and Red House Painters, Amundson has a talent for creating songs that only use what is necessary to create specific moods and nothing more.&quot; 
Delusions oF Adequacy 

“…a shining gem of introspective modern ethereal folk.” 
Outburn
