New Virginity by Nat Harvie
On 'New Virginity,' Nat Harvie (they/them) longs for love – but “not reaching so much for the lover or the friend, as through my self,” says the Minneapolis singer-songwriter, producer and engineer. Each of the album’s eight songs is a story, dreaming of an imagined future as the last person alive on Earth, to a mirror version of childhood, the possibilities of gender in a ruined Eden, and the inevitable loss that comes from loving – all happening together at once.
“There’s a magical realism to saying ‘I am a virgin again’ – it becomes true – this is the logic of the album: that one can reset their relationship to experience, to the sensual,” Nat says. “It’s not regressive though, not revisionist – I am not winding back the clock of my life, I am bringing a *new* virginity to myself.”
