Luvskull

PEOPLE FROM EARTH

Catalog #DROG-044

Luvskull is People From Earth's 15 song follow-up to 1995's Growing Up From
The Ground.  The theme and feel of Luvskull differs from their previous release.  Growing Up dealt with youth, isolation and individuality. Luvskull is about relationships.  Despite this, Luvskull is remarkably lonely and humble.  It conveys the hunger, anticipation, playfulness,
sensuality, vulnerability, insecurity, and depression wrought by love (or lack of it).  Each song presents an aspect of intimacy, either satirizing, or resisting, clichés.  As a collection, the songs are musically and temperamentally diverse yet thematically unified.

The music on Luvskull changes from song to song.  It veers from offbeat pop to throbbing distorted guitar, from spontaneous improvisation to tight orchestration, from sparse acoustic guitar and vocals to full-throttle electric onslaught.  Luvskull includes some unconventional instrumentation such as cookie sheets, pop bottles, wine glasses, floorboards, ashtrays,
bells, cabasa, congas, horns and piano.  This accords with People From Earth's experimental and boundary-defying tendencies.  Luvskull is provocative, original, energetic, and exciting.

Luvskull was recorded and mixed in two sessions at the Gas Station in Toronto.  The first session was recorded, mixed, and CO-produced by Don Kerr (Rheostatics, Bob Wiseman).  The second was piloted and CO-produced by Dale Morningstar (Dinner is Ruined).  People From Earth CO-produced on all of the tracks in both sessions.
