Let’s unpack ‘Natur’. Exactly what we would call an “unconventional listening experience”, the record features the soothing and nuanced songwriting talents of Welsh songstresses Eve Goodman & SERA, here teaming up on an eclectic folk album delivered in Welsh language. It’s exactly what you’d expect it to be; truly unique and cathartic, rather hypnotic, ‘Natur’ unfurls a wealth of traditional and folklore-driven storytelling, all blessed by the elegant, meditative vocal tone of Goodman and SERA.
Aptly titled, ‘Natur’ draws its songwriting flair from the rich natural landscape around the two Welsh creatives. Seeking to ground themselves in the heartwarming, timeless natural forces, Eve and SERA remind us all that it’s often worth it to get back to basics, fully appreciating our roots and the land we were given to enjoy. That said, ‘Natur’ is also a deeply respectful album, treating nature itself as a sacred being, an entity deserving of love and recognition. The songs in it fully satisfy such a meaningful ethos.
Delving deeper into the inspiration behind ‘Natur’, Goodman and SERA explain: “The songs serve as a call to reawaken our love of the wild. We approached our songwriting with this call in mind in the language of our land, Welsh. It’s about accepting our wild nature in an increasingly complex and digitalised landscape.”
