Effusive Supreme, new album out August 18th on SKiN GRAFT Records!

——

Led by visual artist/vocalist Gregory Jacobsen and bassist Alex Perkolup, Lovely Little Girls is a nine-piece art-prog band that features the cream of the crop of Chicago's avant-rock scene. “Glistening Vivid Splash”, the band’s second full length release on SKiN GRAFT Records propels the ensemble’s darkly humorous vision of absurd sexuality, abject failure, and unceremonious death to new heights by utilizing more space, and employing a strange sense of harmony that will strike a chord with fans of Magma, Cardiacs, and The Residents. Produced by Greg Norman and mastered by Todd Rittmann (Dead Rider, U.S. Maple), the music of Lovely Little Girls is permeated by an ominous urgency - ripening and decaying before the ears.

"Jacobsen’s band, Lovely Little Girls, is a total package: challenging, dissonant, ever-changing experimental rock, conceptually linked songs, and ambitious themed stage prooductions that often involve makeup, prosthetics, partial nudity, and large casts of players. His longtime collaborator, bassist Alex Perkolup, writes most of the songs; Jacobsen animates their lyrics with his abject, frenzied singing and grotesque, even violent, stage presence.” - Monica Kendrick, Chicago Reader
