Natalie Wildgoose - "River Days"

Skip to ContentNew MusicNatalie Wildgoose – “River Days”By Margaret Farrell1:27 PM EDT on March 17, 2026Share on FacebookShare on RedditShare on EmailShare on BlueskyGoose. Geese. Now, Wildgoose. None of these musicians sound the same, but they are all magical in their own distinct way. The latter, lo-fi folk musician Natalie Wildgoose, is the latest to add to the growing fowl-rock canon. Her new single "River Days" is simply gorgeous. I hear a bit of Julia Jacklin and Adrianne Lenker. It's the latest preview of her forthcoming EP Rurals Days, which is out next month via State 51.In the press release, she shared a statement about the song's genesis: This song is a record of a single day, written that same evening, capturing the events and feelings of an early-summer day when Matt and I spent every hour by the river. We lit fires and made black coffee in the naturally worn rockpools of the stone, in the evening we cooked fresh trout and lay in the grass beds where the deer had slept the night before.I fell asleep to the sounds of the waterfalls we had stumbled across on our wanderings, and then later, in the shower, I noticed my shoulders were burned, not badly, just a small sting. Proof I had lived a little, but that would fade in a week.Watch the video below.
