Natalie Wildgoose
The video for River Days — visuals by Nina Maria Moslechner — shares the same sun-bleached, grain-softened quality as Natalie Wildgoose’s music: images that already look like memory. The song itself is a midsummer diary entry, caught at its edges rather than its centre. Rural Hours arrives April 15th via state51.
Chris Brain has shared Big Hill, the second single from his forthcoming album Red Sun Rising, out May 1st via Big Sun Records. Inspired by a long-promised walk in the Yorkshire Dales and featuring guest vocals from Natalie Wildgoose, the track embodies Brain’s gift for finding quiet revelation in the unhurried and the ordinary — accompanied by a live performance video.
Natalie Wildgoose has shared Nobody on the Path, the lead single from her forthcoming EP Rural Hours (15th April, state51). Wrapping her trembling vocals in guitar, piano, banjo and violin, the track draws on the physical rhythms of solitary moorland walking — music that moves the way the title suggests.
