Yorkshire lo-fi folk artist Natalie Wildgoose shares ‘River Days’, another glimpse of her forthcoming EP Rural Hours, out 15 April via state51.
A snapshot of a day, wrapped in a smoky haze of reflection, ‘River Days’ transports you to an early-summer day, where you can almost feel nature’s quiet hum.
“This song is a record of a single day, written that same evening, capturing the events and feelings of an early-summer day when Matt and I spent every hour by the river. We lit fires and made black coffee in the naturally worn rockpools of the stone, in the evening we cooked fresh trout and lay in the grass beds where the deer had slept the night before.

I fell asleep to the sounds of the waterfalls we had stumbled across on our wanderings, and then later, in the shower, I noticed my shoulders were burned, not badly, just a small sting. Proof I had lived a little, but that would fade in a week.”
