"Coming Clean" showcases Gary at the top of his game, featuring his New Wave super-group Gods and Monsters--the New Yorker says "AN UNDERGROUND ROCK FAN'S DREAM TEAM." The band includes Billy Ficca from Television and Jonathan Kane from Swans on drums, and Ernie Brooks from the Modern Lovers on bass. Special guests David Johansen (New York Dolls), Richard Barone (Bongos) and sultry French superstar Elli Medeiros are along for the trip. From the title track (mixed by Talking Head’s Jerry Harrison) to the wild blues-rock showstopper "One Man's Meat", it's a total joy and a total knockout. Covers include everything from Hitchcock’s "Psycho" theme to Springsteen's "Ain't Got You". Lucas plays the guitar like nobody else, and writes original, haunting songs (he co-wrote Jeff Buckley's "Grace" and "Mojo Pin")--a rare talent indeed, and here at his most accessible--a classic album from one of the most creative minds in modern rock.
