Musicians are forever embracing nature whether it’s in the psychedelic fashion of the Woodstock days or in support of charitable causes such as the Rainforest Fund or Gulf Coast.
However, in this case it seems that Jarvis Cocker has taken things a step further releasing an album that is solely comprised of natural sounds from around the British Isles which include birdsong, crashing waves and crunching gravel.
The album has been released in support of the National Trust and is in response to research they conducted whereby 88% of people involved said they found it easier to think when surrounded by natural sounds such as birdsong and the sea.
Speaking about the album, the Visitor Experience Director of the National Trust Tony berry said “If rock and roll is the sound of the city, this is the sound of the country – it’s the ultimate chill-out album.” Adding to this Jarvis said “I hope this album is a ‘Holiday for the Ears.”.
At least we now know what Jarvis has been doing since Pulp, chilling in the country with a microphone. Hopefully the album is as relaxing to listen to as I’m sure it was to make.
To get your hands on the album just head over to the National Trust website and download yourself a copy for free.
