Q Lazzarus - Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives Of Q Lazzarus (Limited Edition on Purple w/ Black and White Splatter Vinyl)

For almost everyone, the entry point for discovering the music of Q Lazzarus came via “Goodbye Horses”. The song first appeared in 1988, via Jonathan Demme’s Married to the Mob, but it would not become fully lodged into popular consciousness until it infamously materialised again in Demme’s The Silence of the Lambs in 1991.

“Goodbye Horses” felt like a self-contained universe – dreamlike and wholly unusual, an instant classic that left listeners captivated and curious about the mysterious voice behind it. That voice belonged to Diane Luckey, a uniquely talented artist whose music was ahead of its time and who would ultimately remain largely unrecognised in her lifetime. In conjunction with the release of Aridjis Fuentes’ documentary film Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus, Sacred Bones is releasing a collection of songs that span the entirety of Q’s career, showcasing the different eras of her work and the full breadth of her personality. 

The first collection of music to be given the blessing of Q’s remaining family, "Goodbye Horses" has the distinction of being her first and only full-length release. Recorded between 1985 and 1995, this trove of previously unreleased music reflects some of the most interesting facets of pop music from the past four decades in away that feels both savvy and wildly eclectic.
