It’s a bit hard to describe Joshua Abrams and the Natural Information Society, but the best word is probably “minimalist.” They play an interesting form of minimalist jazz and low rock that’s centered around Abrams’ love and mastery of a three-stringed African guimbri lute. Their stuff can be both meditative and danceable. I first caught them at Levitation Chicago a while back, and they put on a good show then. It will be interesting to catch them in an outdoor venue this year at the Pitchfork Music Festival.
Keep your mind open.
