The Natural Yogurt Band first signed with Gerald “Jazzman” Short in late 2007. It didn’t take much – a mysterious UK-based duo that record brooding, beat-heavy, difficult-to-categorize demo, love Galt MacDermot, David Axelrod and Ennio Morricone’s 60s and 70s masterpieces and care most about releasing their music in the vinyl format? It was only natural, then, that Short and Now-Again’s Egon would hatch a plan for an expanded North American issue of the band’s debut – an album that had already been hailed as a fine release in keeping with the best “library music” issues of the same era.
Now, the Natural Yogurt Band are signed to Jazzman and Now-Again and plan release their sophomore album as a joint-venture between the two companies in 2010.
