Fever in Fever Out, the second Luscious Jackson album, came out on October 29, 1996, on the Beastie Boys' Grand Royal label with Capitol, and it's the band going silky and nocturnal. Daniel Lanois produced it, and the hip-hop-bred grooves come wrapped in a warm, echoing haze. Jill Cunniff sings and plays bass, Gabby Glaser sings and plays guitar, Vivian Trimble adds keyboards and vocals, and Kate Schellenbach keeps the beat loose and funky.
"Naked Eye" is the one that broke through, a slinky, sun-drenched groove that became the band's biggest hit and their only entry on the Hot 100; "Under Your Skin" and "Why Do I Lie?" kept the mood simmering. The album reached number 72 on the Billboard 200 and number 55 in the UK and had sold more than 500,000 copies by 2000. It was the last album with Trimble, who left in 1998.
