First New Album Since 1998 from the Legendary Alt-Rockers on Vinyl LP!

Formed in 1987 and known for their crazy live show, the Jesus Lizard is returning with their first new music since 1998, and their first album on Ipecac (who's celebrating their 25th Anniversary). tJL is one of the leading noise rock bands of all time, influencing newer acts such as Idles and Fucked Up. The band has also had their time in the mainstream with a split release with Nirvana, and David Yow has recently done guest vocals on an Idles album and is an actor appearing in the remake of Toxic Avenger and other indie films such as Dinner in America and Rattlesnake.

Since their initial breakup, they have reformed for tours in 2008 and then again in 2017-2019.

Their music has been in TV shows and movies such as Clerks, Young Sheldon and Get Shorty, as well as their infamous "wolf" logo shirt being featured in the recent movie Nope.

The band and label have a history together with Duane Denison (guitarist) being a member of the band Tomahawk with Mike Patton, as well as putting out his own album under The Unsemble. David Yow (vocalist) also sang on the Qui album put out by Ipecac.

Says Yow of Rack's lead single "Hide & Seek": "Hide & Seek is a perky ditty about a witch who can't behave, and it's got nearly as many hooks a Mike Tyson fight."

Denison concurs: "Hide & Seek is kinda fast, has a good beat, sounds good when you're partying."

Leave it to The Jesus Lizard to come back after 26 years sounding even gnarlier than they left us. If you didn't know any better, you might mistake it for the work of a rising new band, and that's kind of the ideal scenario for an album this long-awaited. It strengthens The Jesus Lizard's already-rock-solid legacy, and if you've never indulged in the menacing delights of a Jesus Lizard record, it'd be a fine introduction.
-Andrew Sacher, BrooklynVegan
Twenty-six years after they last made a studio album, Rack is living, breathing, sweaty proof the Jesus Lizard can write songs and give them shape in the studio just as well as they ever did, and it honestly stands beside the best of their Touch & Go catalog in both spirit and execution. And they still hit like a crescent wrench to the face. Which is a compliment.
-Mark Deming, AllMusic.com, 4/5 stars (The AllMusic 2024 Year in Review - Favorite Rock Albums)
