Nathan Mongol Wells of the Ottoman Turks demonstrates his songwriting chops with a Tom Waits meets honky-tonk side release.Few things are as much fun as spending a Saturday night whooping it up with Nathan Mongol Wells and the Ottoman Turks.

We caught up with Nathan before a Turks show at Ruins to ask him what this release means to him, about the Ottoman Turks and about days of the week in general.We were relieved to find out that for the Ottoman Turks, nothing has really changed. The group is happily at work on a third album but at a pace that allows for some catch-up with the rest of life. And you know, maybe some solo stuff. With support from State Fair Records, Billy Law has also released some non-Turks music.
“As we have matured as a band, it’s gotten easier to see what songs fit into the Turks and what songs are better served with a different approach," he says.Listening to the album is like visiting an old friend who just moved into a new home.
