Try It On

I've done a remix for INTERPOL that will be released as a Limited Edition 12” Vinyl-only Remix EP on April 16th as a celebration of Record Store Day in Europe.

The Remix EP will receive a North American release in the later part of the summer and features remixes of “Try It On” by SALEM, IKONIKA and BOF.

"'BoF' effortlessly mates electronic distortions, low-end theory and achingly gorgeous pop melody" NME

"unsettling, weirdly compelling stuff" The Guardian

"Natalizia's got a ways to go as a songwriter... he's quite a sensualist, his snowdrift sonics capable of both delicacy and heft". Pitchfork

"refreshing, affecting and, most of all, entertaining" Time Out

"ace blissed-out, slo-mo guitar pop" The Times

"each submersion is every bit as worthy as the last" Drowned In Sound

"something that will inevitably be cherished beyond its immediate realm of hyperbole" The Line Of The Best Fit

“a thing of gorgeousness… effortlessly meshing beauty and power” Clash

"this is an album that explodes with ideas" Dazed & Confused

“atmospheric, sweetly whacked-out, electronic pop spells” Uncut
