Naturale are a solo project from Denmark that plays a mixture of drone, psychedelic and folk music and this is a review of his 2023 album "Meditation Over Morket" which was released as a joint effort between Yoshiwara Collective, Svensk Psych Aften, Vinyltroll Records and Virkelighedsfjern.
Field recordings start off the album along with some clean chants and percussion style instruments a few seconds later. Drones are also utilized quite a bit throughout the recording while the acoustic guitars also bring in elements of folk music and the vocals are also done in more of a melodic style.
At times the music also gets very psychedelic sounding while keyboards can also be heard in certain sections of the recording. The songs also add in elements of 60's and 70's music with a more modern outlook along with most of the tracks also being very long and epic in length and there is one song that is also an instrumental as well as one song also introducing programmed beats onto the album.
Naturale plays a musical style that takes drone, psychedelic and folk music and mixes them together to create a sound of his own. The production sounds very dark while the lyrics are written in Danish and cover the human relationship with nature and the effect the darkness of winter has on the human psyche.
In my opinion Naturale is a very great sounding mixture of drone, psychedelic and folk music and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Morket" and "Ilden". 8 out of 10.
