KINIT HER comment: “The title-track of ‘The Nature Out There’ is a multivalent symbolic representation of a spiritual trajectory and territory”, vocalist and electronic sound-designer Nathaniel Ritter explains. “At one level it is referring to the concept of ‘as within, so without’; on another level made evident by the accompanying music video, directed by Daniele Pezzi, it refers to a coming back into sympathy with both earthen and human nature while dissolving the struggle against the impossibility of dominating either. On a more personal level, it refers to how far-flung all of the contributors to the song and the album are, collaborating on this work from very different climes and with our own inner and outer natures. As with much of our material, layers of symbolism inherent to the work reveal themselves after the work is completed – in the case of ‘The Nature Out There’, it has been revealed that ‘out there’ refers to the territories beyond the confines of the egregore that is Kinit Her, as this has become our final album.”

With their fifteenth full-length “The Nature Out There”, KINIT HER have reached a culminating and breath-taking height in their organic growth. Transcending all artificial limitations such as genre or instrumentation, the symbolist post-folk collective present a beautiful kaleidoscope of bursting musical colours and spiritual journeys into the wonders of nature with lush soundscapes that amazes and thrills with every note.
Ever since their founding in the heart of Wisconsin in 2005 by vocalist and man of strings Troy Schafer and electronic sound designer and lyricist Nathaniel Ritter, KINIT HER have been relentlessly pushing to expand the aesthetic and stylistic range of neofolk into unique new shapes under the banner of what the band calls “symbolist post-folk music”.
Channelling such diverse influences as neoclassical, early music, folk, industrial, avant-garde rock, black metal, ambient, pop, and many others, KINIT HER have sounded organic tone-mantras from shofar horns, bent sweetened notes on beaten guitars, intoned harmonised enumeration of spells and dreams, and backed it all by string and brass arrangements, acoustic ephemera, and twinkling electronic sound designs.
KINIT HER have evolved into many forms by inviting a host of guest-musicians, but with singer Jessica Way a permanent third member has meanwhile been added to the original core-duo. Rarely performing live, this project nonetheless continues to grow, warp, twist, form offshoots, and to challenge their co-creators, friends, and fellow musicians, which are invited in ever changing line-ups to participate in one of the many recordings.
KINIT HER emerge from a heavenly vault of related projects and shared collaborations of contributors as one of the brightest stars in this celestial sound constellation. “The Nature Out There” is the guiding light for a generation of folk and neofolk related music trying to reach new sonic dimensions.
