Natalie Wildgoose Shares Video for New Single ‘River Days’
Natalie Wildgoose has unveiled the video for her new single “River Days,” the lead track from her forthcoming EP “Rural Hours,” due April 15 via state51. The song, recorded directly to tape in remote Yorkshire venues, documents a midsummer day spent by the river and was written the same evening it describes. Visuals by Nina Maria Moslechner complement Wildgoose’s analogue aesthetic, while the artist embarks on a UK tour supporting L.Y.R. and headlines at Stoke Newington Old Church, plus festival dates at The Great Escape and Deer Shed. The EP also draws on Emily Dickinson and ancient Greek oracles, reinforcing her literary‑infused songwriting.
