Earthlings by Little Lizard

Earthlings, the second LP from funk punk duo Little Lizard, blasts off on a funky flying saucer ride. Inspired by their love for classic Sci-fi and cheesy Horror movies Lizz D. and Shea Daniel have created a soundtrack to their very own extraterrestrial adventure. Built on 808 beats and cutting basslines Little Lizard has expanded their minimalist instrumentals with more synthesizer, more vocal samples, and both members on brass. Intergalactic and highly danceable Earthlings isn’t just an escape to the stars but a reflection on our relationship to one another and the planet.

Opening with a demand via vocoder “Take Me to Your Leader” sets the tone for Earthlings with Lizz D.’s funky bass over a metallic beat. Punctuated by Shea Daniel’s electrified trombone and digital synthesizer the duo kicks into warp drive with Lizz D. switching to trumpet for a doubled brass break. Shifting gears Little Lizard goes full ballad on the title track “Earthlings”. But in true funk punk fashion changes style halfway through trading swelling synthesizer and a melancholy groove for a double-time fanfare with looping trombone. Not stopping there both members redefine their roles in “Ghost Shows” with Shea holding down the bass while Lizz D. takes the melody on trumpet and solos on theremin. Finishing on a high note, “Chrome” is a trombone and bass forward number rounded out with sparkling analog synthesizer and fuzzed out bass.
