Lemonheads - Lick

Fire Records - FIRELP258

Includes CD of album

'Lick' is the third full-length album by the Lemonheads, and the last to feature founding member Ben Deily. It was the group's last independent label-released album before signing to major label Atlantic. An odd mixture of brand-new, and considerably older, sounds, 1989's 'Lick' brings together the output of several distinct recording sources: six brand new songs recorded with Minneapolis-based band friend and producer Terry Katzman, and a collection of older, B-side and never-released material originally overseen by producer and engineer Tom Hamilton.

The difficulties of writing and creating a new full-length album every year ('Hate Your Friends' and 'Creator' were released in 1987 and 1988, respectively) are clearly in evidence on 'Lick'. While the newest material ("Mallo Cup", "A Circle of One", "7 Powers", "Anyway") hints at promising new song writing directions for both Deily and Dando, there's an almost valedictory sense of the past in the inclusion of versions of "Glad I Don't Know" and "I Am a Rabbit" (from the band's first-ever, self-released EP), and the now-classic track "Ever", a previously-unreleased tune from the original 1986 'Hate Your Friends' sessions.
