The music project Natureboy represents only one person and it's not a boy but singer/songwriter Sara Kermanshahi. With supporting production of Cedar Apffel (he has own project Masterface and theirs (together with Sara) former project House on A Hill) and featured rising drummer Rory O'Connor.
In short Natureboy plays acoustic guitar alt-folk. Sara's arresting voice is strong and soulful captivating and gives freshness in her songs. Because melodies are slower flowing and often full of melancholy. It's perfect music for these autumn/winter days when raining outside and you want only hide yourself at some warm nook and having a rest. But I didn't say it's boring, soporific or something it suits for these autumn/winter mood only I think. I've taken a couple of listening and I can say Sara's songs still grow and grow inside of me and it's good sign. I love growers. Not only first song Curses Fired begins and includes looped acoustic guitar which has hypnotic impact and so melodies are a little bit hidden but it flowers with every next listening.
The band is currently at a studio and working on their sophomore album entitled "The Sweep", which features guest vocals from Sharon Van Etten, who has also loaned her lovely voice to bands such as The National, Beirut and The Antlers. But we must wait till February 2012.
