Down is an album by the Chicago band The Jesus Lizard. It was their last album for Touch and Go records. The song "Horse" was labeled as "Pony Beat" on set lists for live shows. David Wm. Sims plays an organ on the album version. The painting on the cover is "Falling Dog" by Malcolm Bucknall, who also did the cover art for the "Puss/Oh, the Guilt" split single with Nirvana and the Jesus Lizard's "Liar" album. This is the last Jesus Lizard album to be produced by Steve Albini, Impressed by his work on the album "Houdini" by the Melvins, the band hired producer GGGarth to record "Shot". It has been widely held that Steve Albini refused to work with the band because they had signed to a major label, although Albini himself denied this in comments made to a review of the 2009 reissue of the Touch & Go catalog that appears on the Paste Magazine web site. All songs written and composed by The Jesus Lizard, except where noted. less
