Natural Ingredients, Luscious Jackson's debut studio album, came out on August 23, 1994, through the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label and Capitol, and it's a cool, loose-limbed blend of hip-hop beats, funk grooves and downtown rock attitude. Jill Cunniff produced it and sings lead and plays bass, Gabby Glaser adds vocals and guitar, Vivian Trimble brings keyboards and vocals, and Kate Schellenbach, who had come aboard during the In Search of Manny EP, holds down the drums.
The vibe is breezy but streetwise, the sound of a band that absorbed rap and rock at the same time and never saw why they should pick one. "City Song" is the calling card, all lazy swagger and urban drift. On the Billboard 200 it got as high as number 114, and it reached number 2 on the Heatseekers Albums chart.
