| “Lovely Little Girls deal in absurd and jarring contrasts. The group’s knotty, intricate songs heave and dance and skitter – sometimes gracefully dexterous and sometimes grotesquely lumpy – but clearly the work of formidably talented musicians with vivid imaginations.”… – Chicago Reader |
|
| “What makes Lovely Little Girls unique is the care for complex arrangements, creating quirky prog-no wave hybrids… impressive psychodramas of melodic detours and anguished explosions – full of theatrical uneasiness” – ChainDLK |

| Lovely Little Girls is a theatrical art-rock band from Chicago that features members of Cheer-Accident and The Flying Luttenbachers. They specialize in odd harmonies and catchy melodies served with a histrionic flair. The founding member, Gregory Jacobsen describes his artistic endeavor saying: “Lovely Little Girls has been a labor of love of mine for over twenty years and is the performance extension of my art practice. Using my paintings as an aesthetic blueprint, I work with a gaggle of amazing and warped musicians, birthing odd yet catchy music.” |
|
Started as “a chaotic and noisy one-off performance piece inspired by Johanna Went, The Kipper Kids, Henry Darger, and “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane”, Lovely Little Girls evolved over the years becoming a juggernaut of prog/punk/no-wave absurdity featuring intricate arrangements of dramatic psychodramas.

| ‘Effusive Supreme’, their third LP for SKiN GRAFT Records, delves into more personal and abstract territory, highlighting the utilitarian and fetishistic relationship to shoes on one track, while enthusiastically accepting ego- death’s indifferent embrace on the next. Equally informed by Magma and Dead Kennedys, Lovely Little Girls pull from a range that runs the gamut yards past the finish line – everything from Esquivel to Toto. |
|
| Recorded by Todd Rittmann, ‘Effusive Supreme’ is coming out as a Color Vinyl edition with a Full-Color Lyric Sheet and Japan-style Footlong OBI in a resealable Crystal Clear Sleeve. Pre-order ‘Effusive Supreme’ here. |
