Luscious Jackson fans (stand and be counted!) should have a lot to look forward to this year. In addition to a Greatest Hits collection (due out in February), three of the Luscious ladies are jumping on the children’s music bandwagon, at work on a collection of tunes for your kids to rock to. Next month also sees the release of Jill Cunniff‘s solo debut City Beach, an ode to the always classy Coney Island. LJ fans will be glad for the record’s dancey back beats, but there’s a nice dose of Tropicalia (and Emmylou Harris, on “Disconnection”) to mark it “new.” Here’s the summery lead track, all orange popsicles, flange guitars, and breezy melodies.
City Beach is out 2/20 on The Militia Group.

fever in fever out – FOREVER
this makes me happy.
Great guitar sounds there. I have a feeling this might just end up in my collection.
i will stand and up be counted. electric honey is unbelievable–god bless jill cuniff. i also always thought she was an unsung hero of alt rock hot chicks.
how come no Vivian in Luscious Reunion?
Sweet! Has it really been 14 years since I last listened to LJ? If the rest of Jill’s album is anything like this track, I’m absolutely on board.
You have NO idea how happy this makes me.
This song is delicious. I miss LJ.
I lurrrrve LJ. So good live, too. Jill’s song is perky and groovy – wonder what the children’s stuff will be like? Hopefully not much different.
Love Jill and Luscious Jackson. Can’t wait for her solo album and for the LJ greatest hits cd thats supposed to come out some time this year.
Can’t wait to get your hands on Jill’s new album? Head here to preorder and get a sweet “City Beach” T-shirt and 2 exlcusive B-sides!
