Lo-fi folk artist Natalie Wildgoose has dropped her latest track, ‘Angel’. Her sound lives within a uniquely nostalgic sound world: the echoes of various pianos recorded onto a reel-to-reel tape recorder create a timbre that almost feels like an archive recording. There is something ghostly and melancholic to this approach to songwriting, and her introspective lyrics fit perfectly into it. She says: “This song was written in the heart of winter in North Yorkshire. I was alone in the village hall, playing on the WI choir piano, surrounded by a heavy silence. The freezing room pushed me to play for as long as my fingers could endure.” Her new EP, Come Into The Garden, is due to be released on March 6th, 2025. -Dan Peeke
