In my ears mind’s eye I hear a history of Chicago music and beyond: jazz, rock, metal, freak, Avant, prog, punk, even reggae, etc. The players on this record, seemingly, could play anything. They are impossibly constructed, mostly, but compositionally, run the gamut of many different genres. Nothing about these seven songs will interest 96% of the party rockers in the reading audience. What is your defining genre? What groups do you have logos of on your t-shirt? Are your shirts all black with macabre scenes of religious iconography contorted to say something twisted and sacrilegious? Could fans of metal or prog, even dance music, listen to a record like the one just released by a band from Chicago called Lovely Little Girls and hear something they recognize and want to hear more? ‘Cleaning the Filth from a Delicate Frame’ is an esoteric kind of party that requires a special ear. Bungle actually sounded dangerous? Neither do I, after hearing something like this! Remember when groups like Naked City or Mr. This is the sound of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum after taking a bunch of LSD and hanging out in the bad part of town.

Demented circus music, a totally degranged singer yelping out the most disgusting and outrageous lyrics, and super-tight interlocking instrumental parts make this album an astounding addition to the already impeccable Skin Graft roster.
