The Natural Yogurt Band - Braille, Slate & Stylus (2019) [Hi-Res]

After two albums on Jazzman and Stones Throw subsidiary Now-Again Records, and two EPs since their arrival on Black Milky-way Music, The Natural Yogurt Band strikes again but this time with a third full-length album. Those classy, groovy melodies coming out of Miles Newbold's mind ride along with both Neil Tolliday's drumsticks. Halfway between their studio in UK and a distant galaxy, sounds from Braille, Slate & Stylus are echoing, resonating, creating a highly psychedelic soundscape. This album slowly fades from funky tunes, African-oriented grooves and smooth library music to a more absurd, free and contemporary vision of jazz. The last four tracks consist of drum breaks that set a sudden ending point to this long yet too short journey in outer-space.

"Rolled up like a big spliff, this ride to outer space is what we imagine the Mars Rover Discovery heard throughout its journey to the red planet." (Flea Market Funk)

"A beautiful space verbed psyche revelation, full of raw and heavy Jazz powdered pies, ready to conquer the mainstream !" (Renegades Of Jazz / Agogo Records)

"The latest from The Natural Yogurt Band seems to step things up a bit by delivering a stellar outing with Braille, Slate & Stylus." (Nostalgia King)
