“The song itself is about human influence on the environment and the ways many creatures (ourselves included) are forced to sacrifice and adapt."
- GULL, for New Noise Magazine
Watch Gull's latest video, "Find Out", here:
Nathaniel Rappole’s solo project, Gull, was conceived on an endangered wildlife preserve in Front Royal, VA in 1999, and has been publicly active since 2007. Gull has traveled vigorously—playing venues, on the streets, and in the wilds of Canada, United States, Mexico, Europe, Kenya, and SE Asia. Gull has toured in support of White Rabbits, Tres Mts, and RNDM, and has shared the bar arena with the likes of Silver Apples, Girl Talk, Deerhoof, Adrian Belew, Sleaford Mods, Ruby The Hatchet, Panda Bear, Mdou Moctar, Dan Deacon, and Melt Banana. In 2012, Gull was featured in a movie about music in Mexico called Hecho en Mexico, and in 2014, he produced and performed in a documentary on street/public music in Kenya. In April of 2016, Gull performed and answered questions pertaining to his travels at TedX in Richmond, VA, and in 2017 he contributed an improvised performance to Grotesque Tables ii- Noah Wall's anagramic reimagining of Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt’s Oblique Strategies deck of cards from 1975. In December, 2019, Gull went to Thailand and Laos to film a new doc in an ongoing series about musical ecology and culture around the world.
