## Summary

Michael Nau has named nine records that have comforted and influenced him, discussing how they have accompanied him throughout his life and shaped his music. The conversation is part of a feature created with mental health charity CALM, and connects the records to Nau’s latest album, *Popfly*.

Nau says Woo’s *It’s Cosy Inside*, released in 1989, has been among his most-listened-to music since he first heard it seven years ago, and inspires him to make music. He describes Nina Simone’s 1968 *Nina Simone and Piano!* as an album that helps him reset when he feels lost, while Brother Danielson’s 2004 release recalls seeing the group as a teenager and later playing a show with them. The article says a playlist accompanies the selections and notes that £8 can fund one potentially life-saving call to CALM.
