London-born folk artist Seth Tabatznik has released his latest single, Flow River Flow, on MOTH Music. The acoustic track serves as the lead single for his upcoming third album and reflects themes of nature and personal growth inspired by his home in South Africa.
The single has received positive coverage from publications such as NOTION, EARMILK, and CLASH Magazine. Tabatznik has surpassed 400,000 streams across platforms and performed sold-out shows at London’s Green Note and Cape Town’s Boschendal Estate as he prepares for his UK tour.
London-born storyteller Seth Tabatznik returns with a new current in Flow River Flow, and there’s interest in featuring or interviewing the rising artist as he tours the UK.
The latest single, Flow River Flow, released on 7 August 2026 via MOTH Music (Mother of The Heart), marks the first single off his forthcoming third album. Flow River Flow has already drawn attention, with NOTION Magazine noting its delicacy and emotional resonance, and EARMILK highlighting the track’s atmosphere and devotion to life, love, and nature.
Raised in London and now based in the Western Cape mountains of South Africa, Seth Tabatznik’s artistry blends acoustic folk with a reverent, melodic approach. He was mentored by Nick Mulvey, who played a formative role in shaping Awakening Embers, and was inspired by his guitar teacher Rainer Scheurenbrand. His sound is described as a synthesis of guidance, lived experience, and spiritual exploration.
NOTION Magazine described Flow River Flow as a track whose storytelling reflects spiritual curiosity and careful craftsmanship, balancing intimacy with quiet expansiveness. EARMILK praised the single for its reverent feel and lush arrangement, noting its potential to captivate listeners who enjoy Passenger and Gregory Alan Isakov. CLASH Magazine highlighted Seth’s London-bred folk roots and the personal nature of Flow River Flow, comparing its release to his earlier work with Deep Forest (a remix) and the forthcoming album Awakening Embers.
Flow River Flow is the lead single from Seth’s forthcoming third album. This release follows his previous work, including the acclaimed Awakening Embers, and builds on momentum generated since he began releasing music in 2024. By mid-2026, he had already surpassed 400,000 streams across platforms and secured sold-out performances at Boschendal Estate in Cape Town and Green Note in London.

In personal notes shared with press, Seth describes Flow River Flow as a deeply personal journey about his life and home mountain. He explains how the mountain became a representation of himself, evolving the song into a story that includes both of them. The track is described as a delicate introduction of softly strummed guitars, tender vocals, and a lush chorus with swelling pads and laid-back percussion that creates a warm, immersive arrangement.
Additional quotes from the release highlight: “This song took me about as long to write and record as my whole previous album! Flow River Flow is a deeply personal journey about my life and my home mountain… I feel much more guided, more rooted in myself and where I’m meant to be.”

That single's melody reminds me of a quiet walk through a misty forest. My experience with that particular album showed me how different the emotional tone could be.
