Label: Touch And Go

The decadent jazzy din of The Jesus Lizard stands as evidence that, once upon a time, "indie" wasn't a codeword for bedwetter music, and "alternative" once meant something at all. 

Head, is the best studio translation of the band's live performance, which took the liveshow-as-a-religious-ritual philosophy of The Stooges and The Birthday Party to its logical conclusion. In its own seedy way, the album's atmosphere is about as hazy, layered and abstract as something like My Bloody Valentine's Loveless, but through subtle methods executed in one take (unconventional song structures, David Yow drifting in and out of coherency, bizarre chording, palm muting and use of harmonics) rather than just smearing pedal effects everywhere. 

Re-mastered in 2009 by Steve Albini and Bob Weston. Vinyl is packaged in a deluxe gatefold jacket with a 12"x24" double sided colour insert, including never before seen photos & extensive liner notes by the band and by journalists who were there.
