Nataly Dawn of Pomplamoose hits the road with new solo album Gardenview
After more than a decade of captivating global audiences as lead vocalist of beloved indie-pop band Pomplamoose (with over 400 million views on their hyper-creative YouTube videos), Nataly Dawn will be kicking off her Fall US Tour on September 30th to celebrate the release of her new solo record Gardenview.
Beginning this Friday September 30 with a host of stops spanning the US, the Berkeley-based singer-songwriter will perform songs from her “beautiful, vintage” (NPR’s Guy Raz) new solo album Gardenview, along with a handful of French tunes that have quickly become Pomplamoose fan-favorites. The eight-date tour will highlight the sonic strangeness and unpredictable lyrical twists and turns on Gardenview as Nataly transcends genre with a vast array of musical forms: high-spirited folk hymns,McCartney-esque pop symphonies, and indie-rock-infused retellings of ancient Taoist fables.
At times rock-filled and indeed, McCartney-esque with the track “Every Second Day”, and at others impossibly delicate with turns like “Waking Up” and “Over the Moon”, Gardenview is a dreamy and thoughtful piece of art. The music sparkles with beauty and a relaxed yet vibrant energy, while Dawn’s tender vocals and chord choices infuse it with a bit of bittersweetness. This Californian is finding it pairing perfectly with the start of Fall; it’s a sunny drive before heading home to nest down for the colder weather, cozy and freeing all at once. If this sounds like I’m describing a wine, it’s only appropriate, as this is the kind of music that engages all your senses and offers a full experience of the artist’s vision.
I can only imagine the show will be just as lovely and creatively bursting as the album; don’t miss this stop when Nataly Dawn comes through your area.
