Reunited noise rockers The Jesus Lizard have issued another new standalone single, “Westside“. Following “Cost Of Living“, this song is the second to emerge since last September’s arrival of the group’s first album in 26 years, “Rack“.
Guitarist Duane Denison commented, “‘Westside‘ goes along with the previous single, ‘Cost of Living‘, which was subconsciously influenced by Leonard Bernstein’s ‘West Side Story’ and hence the name. Really.”
Vocalist David Yow added, “There is a part in ‘Westside’ where the lyrics say, ‘… give him back his arm.’ That was inspired by David Lynch’s ‘Lost Highway,’ when Robert Blake’s character says, ‘Give me back my phone.’”
