Renowned songwriter, known for his main band and then you suddenly write a song that just doesn’t belong? It happened recently to The Natvral, aka Kip Berman from The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, “I opened my mouth one day and heard a different voice. It was mine, but unfamiliar. I didn’t know – and still don’t know – where it’ll take me, but I’m going to follow it.” So far it’s taken Kip to his debut EP as The Natvral, Know Me More, and this week he’s shared a new video to stand-out track,”Home”.
“Home” is undeniably a different beast to Kip’s other band, it’s pretty much stripped bare, just a strummed electric guitar and Kip’s vocal, which as he himself noted sounds like an almost entirely different person. Lyrically, Kip has suggested the track is, “a reflection on the relationship that began seventeen years ago as a tumultuous and short-lived romance, and grew into a marriage with two children.” Passionate, minimal, raw and honest, The Natvral is a stunning re-invention of Kip Berman’s songwriting, and whisper it, might actually be even better than The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart.
