Natural Calamity, formed in Tokyo in 1991, is a Shibuya-kei trio comprising Shunji Mori, Kuni Sugimoto, and American vocalist Stephanie Heasley. Their distinctive sound blends earthy trip-hop blues with Heasley's countrified vocals, setting them apart from the typical French and Brazilian influences of the genre. Their debut album, *Dawn in the Valley*, was released under File Records, followed by *Let It Come Down* and *Sundance*. The trio's collaboration with Toshio Nakanishi and Masayuki Kudo led to the LP *Group of Gods*. After recording in London and Spain, they signed with Idyllic/Toy's Factory, releasing *Andalusian Moon*. Their 1998 album, *Peach Head*, gained American distribution through the Dust Brothers' Nickelbag label, featuring remixes by notable artists like Kool Keith.
