Luscious ladies hit Detroit
By Victoria Salipande
For the Daily
With their own unique blend of hip-
hop, jazz, rock, pop and almost any
other genre imaginable, the members of
Luscious Jackson are back with their
second full-length release "Fever In
Fever Out." Those only familiar with
their contribution to the "Clueless"
soundtrack (the disco tune "Here")
might be surprised how much more
there is to the band besides disco diva-
ism. In fact, one of Luscious Jackson's
main strengths lies in their inability to
get categorized into one musical genre.
"We like to mix everything up,"
explained Luscious Jackson vocalist /
bassist Jill Cunniff in an interview with

sistible groove of Luscious Jackson's
current single, "Naked Eye," and ends
on a calmer, laid back note with guitar-
based tracks like "Faith" and
"Stardust."
The band strays even further from
the straight-forward hip-hop beats of
1993's "In Search of Manny" EP and
goes for a more sophisticated, almost
trip-hop sound at times. Tracks like
"Under Your Skin," "Take A Ride" and
"Water Your Garden" have a live and
multi-layered ethereal feel to them not
seen on "In Search of Manny" and
barely seen on 1994's "Natural
Ingredients" thanks to the help of new
producer .Daniel Lanois (U2, Peter Luscious Jackson
Gabriel).
"We played mostly live on this live shows, fans
