Dear Web Surfer,

Enclosed you will find Natural Calamity's American debut, Peach Head. Previously released in Japan on Idyllic Records, the dynamic duo, Shunji Mori and Kunihito Sugimoto, bring you laid back beats and dreamy guitar noodlings with the help of American singer, Stephanie Heasley. And did we mention that Kool Keith lent his lyrical charm to a track and the Dust Brothers did some remix magic?

Natural Calamity seems like an unlikely name for a collective that is more about poolside margaritas and chill out sunsets than the calamity of life. Heasley's heavenly vocals take the music into a fanciful headspace that doesn't have a record bin devoted to it in your local record store. Maybe file under groovy or feels good or goes well with tropical cocktails. You decide. Are you stressed? Just call the office and tell them you're dealing with a natural calamity you'll get back to them when it's over. Sigh. Feel better already don't you? Fuzzy navels anyone? Meet us at the pool in five.

Sincerely,

Your Friends At Ideal Records
