The album goes easy on the ears (a beginning-to-end listen through takes as long as a 30-minute commute), and all the key elements of Luscious Jackson are there. The band raised funds to record their new album Magic Hour in less than three days. Now, 15 years after their last album, Luscious Jackson returns after a crowdsourcing campaign. Their output ranged from essential (see In Search of Manny, Fever In Fever Out) to highly recommended ( Natural Ingredients, Electric Honey).
While not reaching that level of cultural influence in the ’90s, Luscious Jackson managed to accomplish a feat few artists and bands can claim: not have a single weak album in their mix. But then came 2003’s Strays, and later The Great Escape Artist, and Jane’s Addiction went from being legendary to utterly human, just as capable of releasing a weak album as any other band. It seemed the band’s brilliance could only be captured for a brief time and then was doomed to burn itself out. The album was considered by many to be one of the benchmark albums of the ’90s. Before 2003, the band was elevated to an almost mythical status with their final “proper” album Ritual de lo Habitual. A reunion tour might be great for nostalgia (see the Pixies’ first reunion tour of the early ’00s), but once a band gets behind the studio glass, they are doing nothing less than risking their legacy.
