Jesus Jones fired "Info Freako" out in February 1989 as the lead single from their debut album, Liquidizer, eight months before the album itself arrived on Food Records in October. The writing is credited to the band as a whole, frontman Mike Edwards produced it with the rest of them, and Leigh Fenlon engineered.
The record's sound traces back to Edwards: once the band had relocated to London he broadened his tastes, and in May 1988 he got hold of a sampler that pushed his songwriting further. Liquidizer is what came of it, a techno and power-pop record with hip-hop in its blood and samples all over it, and it drew comparisons with Pop Will Eat Itself, Renegade Soundwave and World Domination Enterprises. The single itself got to number 42 in the UK.
