L.A. Sh’it is the new LP from the punch-throwing, shit-kicking country outlit Iront d by Fat Creeps bunder Gracie Jackson, fea- turing contributions from King Tuff, Emmett Kelley (Cairo Gang, Bonnie ”Prince™ Billy, Ty Segall Band), and Bobbie Lovesong.
GrwieHorse weaves stories iNo her songs. On EA. Sh’it, he r be- but record with Wharl Cat, she takes uS into the past half a de- cade of her life. We see her as a traveling nurse, living in big blue expanse of Wyoming, dancing with a man in a crisp white St tson, eating chicken wings in a hazmat suit, commeNing on how strange a place like Los Angeles can be, how loaded it is with wannabe cowboys and fast food restaurants. It's a re- cord of immwulate country music, the kind of stufl you'd put on blast in your truck as you drive down empty streuhes of high- way. It's also a vulnerable record, full of lyrics about the inE'nsity of being alive, all Old with a sense ol humor and self-wareness.
A founding member of the grunge sun rock dream pop duo Fat Creeps in the early aughts, Gracie also released an album of”Bum- mer Jams’ under GracieHorse in 2015 with GhaSt Ramp. L.A. Sh’e marks Gracie's return to music aher a several year hiatus. While taking time ofl between 2015 and 202O she kept busy with session work and singing live background vocals for Alex lzenberg, Meer- naa, Color Green, 3onny Kosmo, Banny Grove, and The Lentils.
In addition to being Grwie's own major artistic saternent, L.A. Sh’it is a community efort. To make it, she enlisted countless friends in the Los Angeles Area, many ol whom are curing and session mu- sicians who were stuck at horne during the pandemic. ”I'm grateful," she says of the experience, ”I'm proud that I get to show ofl my friends on this record." Indeed, EA. Sh’it is that kind of big family af- fair. Funny, heartbreaking, brutal - it's aS country as country can be.
