“Natali” opens up with an ethereal, impressionistic melody that drifts and builds. The song by TYGERMYLK deftly combines ideas and sentiments that are tragic and humorous as the singer sketches a time in life that symbolized and embodied a kind of felix culpa, no pun intended, in which the seeming loss reveals the reality of the situation and a revelatory truth that changes the course of one’s life or in the case with the song a relationship that might have gone on causing more heartbreak if not for a freak accident instigating a short form Rube Goldberg wrecking machine of personal realizations one might not have otherwise seen as quickly. Songwriter Hayley Harland’s vocals float through hanging harmonics and harmonic swells in a song that is reminiscent somehow of both Actor-period St. Vincent and Radiohead’s “Subterranean Homesick Alien” yet very much with its own emotional resonances speaking to the skills of an artist gifted with turning a humorous phrase with sharp psychological insight.
