Andy produced and mixed the last studio album by The Jesus Lizard in Chicago, the band’s home city.

“We recorded with Garth Richardson for the Shot album and Andy Gill for the Blue album. There was a lot more trickery and overdubs and stuff. Shot was pretty straightforward. But Blue, Andy had a bunch of cool textural ideas. I think it’s a great headphone record. There’s a lot of cool things going on that you might not catch otherwise. He had this cappucino, coffeemaker, and it shows up in there making noises.” – David Yow, vocalist in The Jesus Lizard, Treble Zine, September 2018.

“Working with Andy was a blast. I was thrilled and honoured to get to know him, and we became friends. After spending all day recording, the other guys would go home and go to sleep, and Andy and I would go out and hit the bars. One night he really wanted soft shell crabs, and so we found a place downtown Chicago that serves soft shell crab. We went there and he suggested that I try uni. It’s a sea urchin. It’s the gooey, nasty shit inside of a little sea urchin. He said, [putting on a British accent] ‘Imagine yourself in the Bahamas. The water’s right above your knee and the sun’s going down. It’s perfect, just fucking perfect.’ And I was going, ‘great, man’. And then it was the most horrible crap I’d ever put in my mouth. Sitting at the table, I covered my mouth with my hand and threw up probably five times over and over, and just sort of swallowing it, and the whole time Andy was going, ‘You’re a good man, you’re a good man, you’re a good man.’ I won’t eat uni again.” – David Yow, KEXP, September 2018.

“With Gang of Four guitarist Andy Gill at the production desk, Blue sees the band adding more experimental touches to their sound. Strident opener ‘I Can Learn’ is bathed with effects, while ‘Eucalyptus’ aches with regret, a feeling bolstered by [Duane] Denison’s shimmering, ambient guitar and ominous washes of synth. ‘Cold Water’, on the other hand, is a frantic sub three-minute knockabout where Yow recounts a dream where he’s in a wheelchair and drowning in a slowly flooding basement.” – ‘Your Essential Guide To The Jesus Lizard’ – Kerrang! 2018.
