The Natvral is the new project of Kip Berman, formerly of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart. Hailing from Princeton, New Jersey, this talented artist brings a fresh sound to the music scene. With influences ranging from indie rock to pop, The Natvral captivates listeners with heartfelt lyrics and catchy melodies.

Having been a part of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, *Kip Berman* has already made his mark in the industry. Now embarking on a solo journey, he continues to showcase his musical prowess through The Natvral. Drawing inspiration from various genres and artists such as *The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness* and *The Reds, Pinks and Purples*, The Natvral's music resonates with fans across the globe.

Joining an impressive lineup of similar artists including *Wild Pink*, *Eyelids*, and *Empty Country*, The Natvral stands out with their unique blend of introspective lyrics and infectious melodies. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their music, experiencing The Natvral's captivating performances is an absolute must for any music lover.

As the frontman of The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Kip Berman wrote songs about the thrills and ills of young adult life with the care and concern of a cool older sibling. Enter Tethers, Berman’s first solo record as The Natvral, where Kip finds his new project more aligned with the sounds of Bob Dylan, Neil. Young, and his long time hero Leonard Cohen. But in this time away from the life of a touring artist, Berman discovered an unvarnished, broken folk rock sound - a marked departure from his previous work. Recorded over 7 days with producer Andy Savours (My Bloody Valentine, Black Country New Road, The Pains of Being Pure at Heart), Tethers is as raw in sound as it is nuanced and empathetic in its lyricism. Without effect pedals, overdubs or even a metronome, the resulting album feels free and unpretentious, recalling the strident obliqueness of Bob Dylan and Neil Young’s sonic primitivism - but drawn from a set of vividly detailed experiences all Berman’s own. Throughout, he is supported by former TPOBPAH collaborators Jacob Sloan (bass), Brian Alvarez (drums), Sarah Chihaya (backing vocals) and Crystal Stilts/Woods Kyle Forester (organ).
