NYC Record of the Month: Natureboy’s ‘The Sweep’ – live at Cameo on 07.27

Haunting, evocative, dangerous, rootsy and futuristic at once, Natureboy has the ability to pull synthetic designs and lay them down beside folksy intimacies, which gives her an otherworldly charm like no other artist today.

Available July 23rd, her new record ‘The Sweep’ challenges these worlds to come together like nothing the mysterious singer-songwriter has made yet. Complete with featured vocals from Sharon Van Etten, tracks like ‘Never Better’ and ‘Sugar’ bring intimate acoustic folk alongside samples galore, and make it sound as if it’s the most natural thing in the world to hear.

Fave song and preview single ‘Lexies’ gives you a direct portal to singer Sara Kermanshahi’s soul. Check it out below and see her crazy live performance (Natureboy has to be seen on stage to experience her properly) on July 27th when she plays Cameo Gallery. – Mike Levine (@Goldnuggets)
