EARTHLINGS

Due to the pandemic we have moved the release of EARTHLINGS to an unknown future date. Stay tuned for updates!

Ghost Shows

Little Lizard's new single "Ghost Shows" is a haunting manifestation of the duo's minimalist brass and bass funk punk. Built on distorted 808 kicks and analog synth bass members Lizz D. and Shea Daniel switch roles with Lizz delivering a punchy trumpet lead while Shea holds down the low end and spooky digital synth. Shifting to a sparse trumpet and bass groove the duo savors in the suspense before descending into a hair-raising theremin solo. Creeping back in with trumpet and bass this terrifying ordeal seems over, or is it? Appearing on Little Lizard's upcoming album EARTHLINGS coming later this year, fingers crossed the current situation turns around soon, on Guilt Ridden Pop Records.

Take Me to Your Leader

"Take Me to Your Leader", the opening track from funk punk duo Little Lizard's forthcoming album EARTHLINGS, lifts off on a Space Age groove. Inspired by classic Sci-fi and B Horror flicks "Take Me to Your Leader" is dominated by funky basslines and metallic 808 drum beats. Punctuated by Shea Daniel's bursts of electrified trombone and digital synthesizer the duo really stretches out before kicking into warp drive with a full-fledged brass breakdown where Lizz D. trades her bass for trumpet. Intergalactic and highly danceable this number will get your body on the dancefloor and your eyes on the skies. EARTHLINGS will be landing in 2020 on Guilt Ridden Pop Records.

2019 Singles

Star Child

The second single from their upcoming album EARTHLINGS, "Star Child" exemplifies Little Lizard's evolving sound with dueling trumpet and trombone over banging 808 beats. Combined with arpeggiated synth and vocal samples "Star Child" is a brassy romp that will make you believe "you are a star child now!"

Take Me To Your Leader

Secret underground cities, unidentified lights, and poltergeists collide to create an out-of-this-world groove on Little Lizard's "Take Me to Your Leader". The first single off their second LP EARTHLINGS the duo explores uncharted sonic terrain with an expanded arsenal of sounds. Incorporating 808, FM synthesis, vocoder, and trumpet "Take Me to Your Leader" is a funky flying saucer ride driven by Lizz D.'s low-end thump and Shea Daniel's effected trombone. Reminiscent of the Talking Heads and Studio One Ska, Little Lizard has documented a sound that is truly Funk Punk.

Premium Vanilla

From start to finish Premium Vanilla, the debut LP from Little Lizard, immerses you in a psychedelic brass band daydream full of analog synth, funky bass, and boom bap drum machine beats. Set on capturing themselves in true form the Minneapolis duo flew to Brooklyn, NY to lay down nine zany tracks starring the trombone and electric bass. Naming their instrumental creation "Funk Punk" Little Lizard draws from electro, dub, hip-hop, and 70s soundtracks to produce a lighthearted sound focused on good vibes and getting your boogie on.

Coming out blazing with "Greetings", a wall of reverb feedback gives way to a funky little groove setting the tone for the album. Bouncing from 8-bit synth to plunger mute trombone on "The Flipper" and jungle samples on "Rainforest Romp" Premium Vanilla is an uptempo adventure that walks a thin line between whimsical and insane. Not all sunshine and rainbows darker themes find their place in the harpsichord-like synth and fuzz bass of "Which Witch" and the melancholy trombone of "Sunburnt". Not letting up until the last track, "Vienna" is a downtempo number employing dreamy synth and smooth bass lines that are peachy keen to the last drop. Cover art by Daniel Jaffe.
