Biography

“Nate Martinez, the man behind the lush and beautiful Thieving Irons, has made a record of rustic gorgeousness that makes one feel as if they were stooping down with those hands cupped, reaching for that fresh body of mountain water – not tainted or tampered with – and drawing it up to the mouth, feeling quenched as you’ve never been quenched before.”  -Daytrotter

Nate Martinez’s Statement on “Behold, This Dreamer!”:

In some ways the story of this album began in a bookstore in Chicago when I found a book by William De La Mare titled ‘Behold, This Dreamer!’. I was moved by the title and opened up the book to read more about it. I found that the subject matter mirrored topics that I had been exploring with a couple songs I had already written for the next album. The cover page reads: Of Reverie, Night, Sleep, Dream, Love-Dreams, Nightmare, Death, the Unconscious, the Imagination, Divination, the Artist, and Kindred Subjects. The topics I had been exploring in my songwriting were of ghosts, time- what it means, how we choose to spend it, and dreaming. The synchronicity of this moment had a pretty profound effect on me. I immediately bought the book but chose to never read it, only using it as a compass for my journey to complete this album. As an homage to the book and that moment I named an untitled song that I had been working on “Behold, This Dreamer! and immediately decided to name the album the same.

    Nate, I was a big Pela fan but am actually even more head-over-heels for Thieving Irons' Midnight Hum and CANNOT WAIT for Behold, This Dreamer. Most anticipated album of the summer.

    Very good stuff. I miss Pela so much. But this album is so solid it needs a ton more listens than it has now.
