Self Portraits of a John Doe - 2025.

Nate Michael Unveils New EP Self Portraits of a John Doe — Out October 24

Australian singer-songwriter Nate Michael is set to release his powerful new EP, Self Portraits of a John Doe, on October 24. Blending raw grunge textures with the storytelling traditions of folk, country, and blues, the record paints unflinching portraits of longing, regret, and resilience.

The EP includes two singles — “Grunge Country” (September 26) and “Trainspotting” (October 10) — each offering a glimpse into the emotional intensity of the project. From the stark intimacy of Windowsill to the haunting defiance of Cable Ties and the elegiac closure of The Better Part, the collection captures the sound of a songwriter unafraid to confront both darkness and hope.

Raised in Warrnambool, Victoria, Nate’s music carries the grit of small-town struggle and the poetic weight of personal survival. Self Portraits of a John Doe is not just a record, but a mirror — reflecting the unnamed, unseen stories that live inside us all.

Release Schedule:

Grunge Country — September 26

Trainspotting — October 10

Self Portraits of a John Doe EP — October 24
