REVIEW BY OBSCURE SOUND/ MIKE MINEO/ 2025
Amsterdam- based artist Jorge Natalin enthralls across moments of both haunting folk and atmospheric rock intrigue on his new album, Coming Down From Heaven.
“I made these recordings in a very turbulent year,” he explains of the album,
spanning fourteen recordings from 2011 and four new songs (including the gripping title track).
“I found myself in lonely exile with a broken heart several times.”
Coming Down From Heaven proves riveting throughout its 18 tracks, comprising an even split between sung and instrumental recordings.
The title track is a thorough showcase of Natalin’s captivating songwriting.
Sporadic guitar strums and a title- touting beckoning opens the track with a compelling immersion.
“Guess I’ll take the long way home,” Natalin’s vocals continue;
accompanied by twangy guitar comforts as the “we should be together,” yearning comes into full focus.
The central refrain alternates with solemn folk and dreamy rock guitar tones for a blissfully hypnotic impact,
attaining a spine- chilling culmination as the “coming down,” vocal moves with more vibrant guitars and gentle percussive adornments to conclude this gem.
Other album highlights are numerous.
“Stay Away” intrigues with its blend of brisk acoustics and phase- friendly effects, constructing a psych- friendly charm with its production,
while “Stitch Me Up” is another vocal- led success with palpable vocal emotion coming through via haunting layers and moments of simmering spaciousness.
The tender, twangy “Solitude” also excels, as does fitting closer “Ending Song,” finishing with a dynamic shifting between lush folk and spacey rock splendor.
WHAT I WROTE ABOUT MY NEW ALBUM MYSELF
Album no. 12 consists of fourteen recordings from 2011, plus four new songs, one of which has vocals.
In these new compositions I reflect on these recordings from 2011 and on this period in my life.
I created these new recordings with the same equipment and techniques and in the same style as the songs from 2011.
My new album is titled ’Coming Down From Heaven’.
The new sung composition is also titled Coming Down From Heaven.
I made these recordings in a very turbulent year.
I found myself in lonely exile with a broken heart several times.
Fortunately, I had my acoustic guitar with me, and I was able to write music.
When I was not in exile, I was able to record this music.
To express myself in this way, to find myself again, to survive in this way.
I have not heard these recordings for a very long time and I could even speak of ‘found footage’.
The time to reveal this music is precisely now.
Now that I am in a completely different phase in my life,
I hear the intense intrinsic expressiveness of these recordings from 2011.
Together with the material from 2011 that I have released already,
this music tells the story of where I was in my life at that time.
Coming Down From Heaven has 9 sung and 9 instrumental compositions.
This album is the testimony of my exile and of my broken heart,
of my vulnerability and of my loneliness,
but also of the strength to continue and to live through my music.

REVIEW BY WHITE ROOM REVIEWS/ RALF WEDAGE/ 2023
Maybe the name Jorge Natalin doesn’t mean anything to you, and maybe Arno Tijnagel doesn’t either.
Yet not so long ago his tenth album was released, because Jorge Natalin is the artist that is hidden inside Arno Tijnagel.
This album by Jorge Natalin has been given the title In wording.
Jorge Natalin –
It is clear that Arno Tijnagel loves making music.
In addition to the ten full- length albums, his solo work now also consists of five extended plays and a huge dose of singles.
This is partly due to the fact that Jorge Natalin absorbs a broad range of influences.
As a result, you can either be drawn to the singer/ songwriter side with him or, for example, be immersed in post- rock.
In wording –
On this album, Jorge Natalin presents himself in fourteen tracks –
where the number 14 and Amsterdam have of course collaborated successfully in the past.
It starts with a rippling, introductory Proloog, before really going wild in Als een diamantje and Walk With Me.
The latter even lets the lead parts of the guitar play against each other, as if we have here arrived in the instrumental part of Dire Straits,
somewhere in the 80s, with a touch of Pink Floyd and Santana.
The strength of In wording is that Jorge Natalin doesn’t get stuck in one moment.
Atmospheres change, things get whipped up and in Abdulkarim even Jimi Hendrix seems to have risen from the dead, in terms of sound,
only to conjure up the driving post- rock later in the song.
Zandkorreltje, the title of which may lead to some underestimation,
turns out to be a hallucinatory trip in which Jorge Natalin completely captivates the listener.
In wording shows that Jorge Natalin’s creative brain never stops and is equally impossible to pigeonhole at all.
This is a record to surrender to, to enjoy, to dream away on, or to make love to intensely.
REVIEW BY KEYS AND CHORDS/ PHILIP VERHAEGE/ 2023
Jorge Natalin is the alter ego for Amsterdammer Arno Tijnagel.
Jorge’s musical adventure began as rhythm guitarist in the elusive rock band Kayanda;
later, he played guitar with Thomas Midfield before joining Huron and the Jim Offerman Band.
Alongside ten albums, six EPs, and a raft of singles,
Jorge has also composed the soundtracks to the films Sunset from a Rooftop and Finnemans.
In wording, his tenth LP, contains fourteen instrumental tracks;
between the opener Proloog and the closing Epiloog there are many hidden treasures to be found.
Als een diamantje and Walk With Me, with its terrific Hendrixian guitar riffs, crank up the tempo.
The mood then turns obscure on Believer and Fluistering,
but brightens again when Jorge shoulders his acoustic guitar for Kindred Spirits, Beyond the Clouds, and Kindred Spirits Extract.
The airy The Elusive Seven and In Your Eyes give way to the twin guitars of De Meest Verhevene,
Jorge also makes excellent use of his experience as an accomplished rock guitarist on songs like Abdulkarim and the hallucinatory Zandkorreltje.
In wording is an experimental concept album with fourteen original instrumental guitar rock/ post- rock compositions.
Admirably well done!
4.5 stars (out of 5)

Roadie Music wrote this about Lonesome Cowboy:
“Jorge Natalin invites us on a melancholic journey with his latest single.
Released on December 22, 2023, the track Lonesome Cowboy is a musical pearl that delves into powerful Indie Rock,
touching hearts with a unique approach to Lo- Fi Rock. Musically, it elevates, lifting us off the ground for an incomparable sound journey.
With measured instrumentals, in a rhythm that flirts with Progressive, the new single stands out in the Indie Rock scene in The Netherlands,
offering a high- level proposal and production. Unmissable, this new track is available on the main digital music streaming platforms,
inviting listeners to embark on this immersive musical experience.”
Last Day Deaf wrote this about 1 and 20:
“Jorge Natalin, the musical guise of Amsterdam’s own Arno Tijnagel,
presents a solo masterpiece in the form of In Atmospheres II EP, featuring the enigmatic track 1 and 20.
Tijnagel’s background as a versatile guitarist shines through as he takes listeners on a sonic journey that defies genre boundaries.
With a bold fusion of electro-rock and minimal techno, crafted in an analog manner, this track showcases Tijnagel’s experimental spirit and musical prowess.
In Atmospheres II EP is a testament to Tijnagel’s ability to create captivating soundscapes that push the boundaries of contemporary music.“
“Jorge Natalin has a stoner sound with melodic deepness.
Zandkorreltje has a dense main riff and over it a guitar phrase dives on harmonic deepness.
The sound is like a dystopic future about to be born.
A chaotic sound going to new hopes and landscapes.”
a captivating acoustic/ singer- songwriter song, out now via AT Recordings.
I am really enjoying the intimate atmosphere of the song, it allows for the listeners to fully focus on his vocals and storytelling.
A beautiful love song, East to West showcases Jorge Natalin’s lush, expressive vocals that are seamlessly backed by a
memorable acoustic guitar- driven melody with touches of melancholia.
All together that creates an overall warm and intimate atmosphere, perfect for a laid- back, reflective day.”
IndieTapes wrote this about Only Here:
“Really like the vibe, honestly not 100% resonating with me, but it’s still a cool record.”
Empty Room Productions on The Sun in My Head:
“I gotta say the track here brings about quite the intense field.
The instrumentals are surreal yet feisty, it all feels so alluring.”
Project Dreams wrote this about East to West:
Nice instrumental pick you have there and nice development and layering of the open melodic statement.
I also liked the quality of the vocals, since it was crisp and clear.
And truly, I can believe that the lyrics sound like it truly comes from the writer’s experience.
Great job in this song and success in your music career.”
This song will totally take over your player, once you hit play.
I turned up the volume.”
Analog Experience wrote this about Awakening:
“That’s a pretty nice song idea, and the guitar is my favorite element on it.
The distortion pedal has quite a lot of noise,
but that’s what makes it more underground and crunchy.
I like the song, it has nice atmospheric elements.”
Cosmonauta Radio on East to West:
“Arno Tijnagel aka Jorge Natalin is a singer- songwriter and guitarist from the Netherlands who comes to the Cosmonauta Radio editorial office from Amsterdam
to share his Folk Rock vision with us in his majestic new single East to West.
You know a song will be interesting and endearing when upon first listening to the intro you notice a huge acoustic guitar that is well received in the recording studio;
in a Led Zeppelin mood like it used to sound in ‘Babe, I’m Gonna Leave You’;
captivated our ears with a nostalgic voice affected at times by delays and reverb.
Passages nourished with ensembles of atmospheric electric guitars in the background of the acoustic guitar as the guitar God Jimmy Page used to do;
in that harmonic loop that becomes hypnotic and that is how in the choruses it guides us in an evocative combination of affected voices,
until closing the song without further ado and when you remember, time flew in 3 minutes and a fraction.
Captivating. “
Taras Kopel on Zandkorreltje:
“Thank you for sharing your work, it sounds interesting and atmospheric.
The whole mix is well balanced, with high- level production.
There are many interesting guitar moves.
I like the way the track develops as the song goes on.
It’s like the composition is telling a story.”
This time, Jorge Natalin sings with a deeply emotional spirit between the strings of absolute balance.
The right music to express feelings of love and admiration too.”
