New Luscious Jackson Record!!!

Another insanely busy week - so busy that I almost completely forgot that I read about a new Luscious Jackson record on Brooklyn Vegan (their article on it right here) at some point earlier in the week! How the hell could I forget about that? Good thing the weekend sometimes allows me to collect my thoughts and re-examine a lot of the stuff I read in quick, passing bursts throughout the week when I can steal a moment or three.

When Luscious Jackson called quits it hurt. And even though we got the wonderful Jill Cunniff solo record City Beach there was no way it was going to be enough to quell the sting from losing the band that put out Fever In Fever Out and Electric Honey, two fine examples of main ingredient funk, synth and straight up pop. The news of a brand new album is pretty much from out of left field to me and makes me very, very happy.

The new Luscious Jackson album is titled Magic Hour and it will be released on November 5th via their own City Song record label.
