Fever In Fever Out

Luscious Jackson, “Fever In Fever Out” (Grand Royal, 1997)
Featuring a founding member of the Beastie Boys and released on their label, this all-female quartet offered its own version of the Beasties’ pan-NYC bohemian funkateering. But LJ’s take was more lyrical and elusive – where the Beasties wanted to be Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, LJ wanted to be ESG. This third album has their most elegant music, deceptively serene but bursting into visionary moments, like a sunrise breaking across the corridor of a Manhattan street.
