There isn’t a lot of information available about Natan Ratan. Only the credits pages on DIscogs or Bandcamp will give an indication of who worked on these atmospheric releases. Whoever the group or individuals are, they released a debut album back in 2015 called “Trees, etc.”. The “Untitled” album is the follow-up, a cinematic and atmospheric blending of field recordings, blipping synths and almost advertorial Raymond Scott-esque melodies.
Naran Ratan is believed to be a collaboration between Harry Hunt (of h hunt, water feature) and Rory McCarthy (of Infinite Bisous, Keyboard, r mccarthy). Naran Ratan’s location is set as Charnwood, UK which may give others more of an indication.
Naran Ratan released their first album,”Trees, etc.” on May 22, 2015. The album blends electronic, ambient, and acid jazz styles with a mix of field recordings and abstract compositions. It features nine tracks, including “Forevertime Journeys, Pt. 1”, “East of Somewhere Else”, and the title track “Trees etc.”.
Naran Ratan composed the music and played both the clarinet and keyboard, while Simone is listed as a contributor on the electric guitar. The album is available digitally for £9 and on 12″ vinyl for £18. The artwork, titled “Bath”, was created by Rory McCarthy. The album was recorded in various locations, including Charnwood.
The album “Untitled” lists various collaborators. Matthew Russel is listed as a writer for tracks “Good Idea” and Matty Hunt is featured as a contributing writer on “Group Dynamic”, “Probable Future I”, “Probable Future II” and “Probable Future III”.
