the Jesus Lizard – have shared “I’m Tired Of Being Your Mother”, part of the Flux EP

I’m Tired Of Being Your Mother” is the third and final post-release digital single from the Jesus Lizard and, along with “Cost of Living” and “Westside”, will make up the Record Store Day exclusive Flux EP, out April 12th in independent record stores. 

This will be the only physical release of these three songs, available April 12th, on Black Vinyl with an etched b-side. Download and stream now, along with the new album, Rack here.

About the track, David Yow says;

“When a friend of mine was about eight years old, living outside of New Orleans, his mother once said to him, in a slow dull drawl, “I’m tired uh bein yo mutha.”

That really struck me.

The lyrics are actual quotes of awful things mothers have said to their children. 

Heartbreaking!!”

The release of Rack marks a new chapter for the Jesus Lizard, whose influence on music remains undeniable. With its relentless energy and razor-sharp musicianship, the 11-track album has garnered widespread acclaim from critics and fans alike. The collection has earned four star reviews from MOJO, Record Collector and The Observer as well as praise from The Associated Press (“the Jesus Lizard’s intensity never went away”), The New York Times (“… a raucous record that recaptures the lunging momentum, stealth nuance and unhinged Yow-isms of their best work”) and Brooklyn Vegan (“…as delightfully gnarly as they have ever been, and just as lively as all of the younger bands that have come in their wake”).
