Description

After Austin-based Scratch Acid disbanded, caterwauling vocalist David Yow and bassist David Wm. Sims moved to Chicago, where they formed The Jesus Lizard and proceed to make a glorious racket throughout the 90s. Produced by Gang of Four s Andy Gill and featuring new drummer Jim Kimball, 1998 s Blue is their sixth and final studio album, and it s one of their most diverse, even delving into jazz (!) on Until It Stopped to Die. But other tracks, like And Then the Rain and Postcoital Glow, deliver TJL s trademark mix of menace and borderline psychosis; this band remains among the most defiantly uncommercial acts ever signed to a major label. Reissued on LP for the first time, in a metallic blue vinyl pressing limited to 2500 copies, with jacket and inner sleeve.
