Luscious Jackson "Natural Ingrdients" CD (1994)

Details: Luscious Jackson's second studio album released on Grand Royal Records in 1994. Light wear on CD, play-tested (no issues).

Description: "New York’s Luscious Jackson has all the right ingredients for an insta-buzz: The quartet was not only the first band out on the Beastie Boys’ Grand Royal label, but is also one of the only white, female hip-hop-based groups around. But the band hardly rests on those hype-ish elements. On its first full album, Luscious picks up where the underdeveloped but promising EP “In Search of Manny” left off. Vocals by bassist Jill Cuniff and guitarist Gabby Glaser are enigmatic and sultry, like a post-Latifah Lauren Bacall, while such lyrics as “Hey energy sucker, I’m a goddess, not your mother” leaves no guessing where the band’s head is at. Muffled dance beats, fleeting vocal effects, and Curtis Mayfield samples, sax, and groovy organ are all very low-key and calm. “Natural” can be a bit too understated at times, but for the most part, its subtlety helps make it a unique and compelling album."--Lorrain Ali, LA Times (1994)
