Recorded in makeshift home studios in a Brooklyn apartment and a rented cabin in the rustic isolation of New York's Catskill mountains, The Natural World is a one-of-a-kind magnum opus whose 13 lovingly crafted tracks combine a freewheeling sonic sensibility with abundant melodic hooks and generous doses of old-school rock and soul beats. Joe Magistro mines an array of real and sampled instruments and a ramshackle assortment of found sounds, stitching disparate elements into seamlessly funky epics that combine over-the-top sonic inspiration with tightly constructed, lyrically thoughtful songcraft.
Although The Natural World is Prophet Omega's first longplayer, Magistro brings a wealth of musical experience to the project. In his previous musical life as an in-demand drummer, he was a member of the New York combo Darlahood, which released two albums on Warner Bros, as well as recording and/or performing with an array of artists including Graham Parker, Kate Pierson of the B-52's, Sara Lee, Kevin Salem and Black Crowes member Rich Robinson.
