You can always expect this New Jersey based quartet to push the envelope with song improvisations, acapella jams, drum circles, chanting, meditation, live painting, and ever changing set lists. Their newest studio album, “Inside the One,” was mixed by Railroad Earth sound engineer Mike Partridge and mastered by RRE’s Johnny Grubb. Natural Breakdown uses their music to help: “... raise consciousness through sound and word. To bring crowds to intense peaks, through a winding river of sound. Like Nature breaks down rock over thousands of years, and how everything can be broken down to its base component, light: Natural Breakdown is a hopeful outlook and a call for change. We believe that the world is in need of some serious healing, and a strong vehicle for this shift is music. We want to break down the barriers between people and bridge the gap between performers/audience, to uncover that core experience of unity and oneness. We strive to bring people together for a unique and uplifting musical healing experience and hopefully spread the seeds of a brighter future in this time of great change.”
