Natural Information Society is a music ensemble formed in 2010 and led by Joshua Abrams.[1][2][3] In 2017, the group was described by NPR as a "staple" of the underground music scene in Chicago.[4] Other performers in the group include Lisa Alvarado.[5]
According to Musicworks, Natural Information Society's performances place "a singular emphasis on the human and the humane in music in the midst of a galloping digitized industry".[6] The Guardian gave the group's album Simultonality four out of five stars, calling it "a compelling Afro-futurist voyage"; Giovanni Russonello of The New York Times described it as "at once tensile and hypnotic"[7], while Rolling Stone named it to their list of the "20 Best Avant Albums of 2017".[8][9] The Stranger called the group's release Automaginary one of the "Top 10 Records of 2015 That Would Be on Every Critic's Top 10 List If Dave Segal Were King".[10] Automaginary was also named by Spin as one of its "20 Best Avant Albums of 2015".[11] Pitchfork named their release Magnetoception number two in its "Best Experimental Albums of 2015".[12]
Natural Information Society's albums have been released by Eremite Records and a collaboration album with Bitchin Bajas was released by Drag City.[13][14]
