Remember the alt-girl group
Luscious Jackson? They're back! OK, so they aren't
really back but they do have a greatest hits compilation and a solo
album from one of the ladies of the group, Jill Cunniff, dropping on
February 20 via The Militia Group. During the mid-90s, when the girls
were at the height of their popularity, I was just getting into music and
their alternative sound was always a pleasure to hear, especially since the
radio was pretty much the only thing that gave me access to what other
people were listening too. These days I can't that I have been
anxiously awaiting anything new from LJ or any of its members so you can
imagine my surprise when Jill's album, City Beach, showed up in my
mailbox and then subsequently made me feel like I was hanging out on beach
having the time of my life. This is good stuff, kick back and enjoy
it.

I don't recommend listening to this song at work, it will only make
you want to jump out of you chair and run out into the streets as you dance
your way to closest place that will allow you to joyously live out your days
without a care in the world. 2007 can't continue to give me stuff like
this, my shaky knees won't allow it.

When I first began to listen to City Beach I pretty got stuck on
Happy Warriors because of how amazing it is but once I was ready for
something else this was the song that caught my attention. Jill has
such a versatile voice and can be good in so many ways but whenever she puts
on her alt-rock voice, like she does here, I automatically find myself
intoxicated by it. I think LJ fans will find this one most familiar.
