Kip Berman returns from a brief hiatus following the release of his highly acclaimed 2021 release, Tethers, with a new single 'A Portrait of Sylvie Vartan', a limited 7" single released on 26th April on Prefect Records.
For fans familiar with the sumptuous release the single is a reminder of his amazing Laurel Canyon summery sound with his heartfelt delivery married with sun kissed folk guitar, stemming from his days as frontman The Pains of Being Pure at Heart).
Of the track, Berman says, 'A Portrait of Sylvie Vartan’ is about the allure and the limits of self-invention, and the ways we relate - or don’t - across oceans, language, and time'
Berman is slowly becoming the troubadour of the post-pandemic world, his album Tethers reached critical acclaim and reminded this listener of the early works of Ryan Adams from his Gold period of 2001 - touching lyrics, heartfelt delivery with a breezy upbeat feeling.
The single is a special 7" limited edition vinyl restricted to 240 copies on green vinyl. It can be ordered here.
In further news, The Natvral will be touring in the UK in late April after Easter starting in Cardiff with stops in Scotland and with a headline show at The Grace in London on April 26th before dates in Spain and Portugal. Tickets are available here.
New music from any new artist is a joy, and for old and new listeners, Kip Berman/The Natvral is one to watch this year.
